Pretty much the title. Just want to see what the community has to say about childhood favorites.

Mine is all about my first console, the SNES and earthbound when I was 4 back in '95 and how my parents brought me to the local arcade back in the day (playing KI gold and area 51) dropping quarters just to play a few rounds in games like soul calibur, and racing games then going to KB toys to buy a new game for my N64 or snes. those were the golden days of gaming for me.

There's too many to count for me. I remember playing Megaman 2, amongst 25+ other games that my brother had the NES back in... 89 I think. I was about 2 years old, and from that time I played regularly to this day.
But a few games that have been totally magical for me has been:
Megaman 2.
Super Mario Bros. 2.
Super Mario 64.
Shadowrun (on SNES)

My first console was the ps1, and I still have many fond memories of all the games I've played...
Like Tombi/a, Um Jammer Lammy, Rescue Shot, Gekido, and many, many more that right now I can't remember.

The only other zelda game that came close to the the majesty of OOT was The Wind Waker in my opinion.
Definitely. Wind Waker is my favorite Gamecube game.

Bro, Super Mario Sunshine! Literally, every gamecube game that included Mario. The Gamecube is by far one of my favorite consoles. Probably #1. It brings so many memories

    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
