Most of us probably grew up playing video games, some of them we forgot or our gaming system ain’t what it used to be. What games bring you back to the good ol’ days when you didn’t know what politics were and couldn’t be bothered to watch the news bc the new ep of Spongebob is on? For me I have to say the Simpsons Game (PS2), the Billy & Mandy Fighting Game (PS2) DK Country (SNES) and NBA 2k14 (PS3, please whatever Deity is out there bring me back to 2013 so I can cheat in 2k again and make my MyPlayer basically just Michael Jordan 😭) and probably Infamous for PS3, I probably played the first game like 18 times fr. What are your faves?

    I bet every comment is going to be so different, and will date each user haha. For me…

    • Mortal Kombat II in the arcade, insanely difficult, I can almost taste the strawberry milkshake I’d always be drinking there
    • Zelda - A Link To The Past on Gameboy
    • an odd one, but the free demo that you got with the original PS, I remember my stepbro and I marvelling at the 3D t-rex / mantaray that we could spin around and zoom in / out of at will. How far we’ve come
    • also for PS, the very first Tekken, and Tekken 2
    • going way back, Horace Goes Skiing on my trusty ZX Spectrum. My first console and first game. You had to load it via a tape, and it sounded like an old modem!

      MK2 on Arcade is one of the best games ever. Kinda crazy to think of how many secrets and Easter Eggs are hidden throughout such a basic seeming game

        The only secret I knew about was hitting a combo of buttons after knocking someone into the acid creating a ‘TOASTIE’, which iirc unlocked Smoke… what did I miss?

          Idk actually, was Noob Saibot in the arcade version of MK2? Or was that just in remasters? To clarify I mean tht you fight Noob Saibot bc you can’t play as him.
