Every year, I will put christmas music and sit to play Super Mario Bros on the NES at least once, since I grew up with it.
Minecraft. I’ve been playing since Beta and host Minecraft servers in my homelab for my friends. I don’t think I’ve gone a whole year without playing it in a very long time.
minecraft is the best, especially with mods
I’m playing another run of chronotrigger right now. played it on SNES (natively, believe it or not!), Playstation, mobile, pc, Nintendo DS, it’s just a fun game with characters I like.
My current meta is to make it to the first time you can travel with the gate key, grind in 65M BC until I’ve got full screen magic attacks, then happily cruise through most of the rest of the game spamming attacks I have no business having. Later on I get charm and use double charm to get all kinds of nice goodies, finish up all the quests and lavos never saw it coming. Usually by the time I hit lavos I’ll have gone through all 3 black omens.
great that you still find new ways to experience your childhood game!

Lmao. My favorite move is to get every single possible mega-elixir and never use them because you know, you might need them next time.
omg I know. Charming those two headed snakes over and over again and by the time you get to lavos it’s like “oh, nevermind but maybe the stonger boss after lavos…?”
.
Costume Quest has great Halloween vibes. It captures trick-or-treating magic perfectly.
thats cute!
Oh man every now and then I’ll break out a classic for nostalgias sake. In no particular order
- Super BomberMan
- MinerVGA
- Warcraft II
- Super Mario World
- City Connection
i love the warcraft franchise except reforged, so much fun!
Commenting because I want to be the change I want to see on the internet.
I try to revisit Kingdom Hearts every few years. Same goes for Metal Gear Solid 3. I play F Zero GX pretty frequently (on Dolphin emulator now, self ripped from a modded Wii). I’ve almost completed every challenge there is on there, only a few staff ghosts left. The speedrun tech in it is pretty compelling. I also “”””speedrun”””” Super Metroid on my laptop in hotel rooms late at night when I’m traveling. I’m not very fast 😥. I’ve been playing versions of Minecraft for most of my life now, I started on version 1.3 ish. My mind was blown when they invented the hopper, so many features in one block. I’ve played vanilla and heavily modded, java and bedrock, alone and with my girlfriend. It’s a special game that will never get old.
I always end up back to playing KH1 & 2 as well. I didn’t like 3 though, which makes me sad
Story-wise 3 doesn’t have the magic of 1 and 2 but the gameplay is some of the best in the series!
I replay Final Fantasy 7 in its entirety (including Gold Chocobo and both WEAPONs) every few years. Other than that, I pull out the old NES and fire up some Tecmo Bowl every once in a while, too.
so much fun!
Smash Brawl. Nothing gets you in the holiday spirit like a ragequitting sister
gg haha
Super Mario 64! I still have a functioning Nintendo64, but I also have the official switch version!
i love watching speedruns of sm64, so cool!
Every system I have had had Tetris on it, even my old flip phone. It’s not as good a phone game as you’d think. I still greatly prefer to play it with a proper controller.
Every year I try to revisit some game from yesteryear that I played as a youngster
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1-4, Final Fantasy X, Halo 1, Oblivion, Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey 98’, Tekken Tag Tournament, and WCW vs NWO: World Tour are some of my go-tos!
Nice! I also do the THPS 1-4 yearly playthrough. The nostalgia and pleasure from playing them hit hard!
The soundtracks, the nostalgia, and the fun are timeless
Those games are still amazing even in 2023
Around Christmas it’s always Quake. Brings me back to my favorite Christmas memories. It was 1996 and playing that on my HP with Intel I processor was magical after playing Wolf3D with PC speaker sounds.
During a year I will probably replay one of these games: Harry Potter 2 (on PC) Jak & daxter 1 Portal 2 Kotor Gonna have to add Jedi academy to that list too
I always used to replay golden sun and the lost age over and over again.
I love those, such a couple of awesome games. Even though I had the NDS sequel, never played it.
The nds sequel could have been great. I liked it for what it was, but they should have changed course to release on the 3ds like the originals and the GBA it would have become a household name as a release title for the 3ds.
Yeah, it’s sad the series is basically forgotten.
I wish there’d been just a little more effort on the 3DS game. It was awesome to see a return of the franchise in any way. Secretly hoping there’ll be a new game developed someday.
This gives me serious nostalgia. I used to play Golden Sun on my purple GBA in the car while my parents ran errands. When Nintendo added Golden Sun to the Switch Online emulator I was reminded of just how great the artwork, sprites, combat… Well, it’s a pretty close to perfect handheld JRPG.
Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask. Was the first console game I ever played, and it holds a very special place for me.
so nice :)
Whenever I’m having a bad mental health week I’ll do a run through of Psychonauts. Psychonauts 2 was amazing and I’ve got 103% on it but the original just scratches that itch. Especially Black Velvetopia.
I am the Milkman. My milk is delicious.
