What is your nostalgic video game?

[Hungry Friend]

SF2 is definitely one of those games that I have many many fond memories of, especially beating people much older than myself at the arcade and getting them all pissed off, but they couldn't really do anything about it because I was like 8. The original CPS1 Hyper Fighting is still my favorite iteration of SF2.

Also TMNT arcade, both the OG arcade HW and the very different NES version are amazing classic beatemups that give me a nostalgic feeling, same goes for Double Dragon 1-2(3 on the NES, arcade version is terrible) and the best beatemup overall imo, Final Fight.(arcade version)

EDIT: How could I forget Mortal Kombat? 2 is by far my favorite but MK1 stirred up all that controversy and had annoying charlatan politicians pretending to be offended. When it was released to consoles I was totally jealous of my neighborhood buddy who had a Genesis because it got the superior overall port with a blood code. MK2 on the SNES isn't perfect but it gave the Nintendo side a chance to gloat.

3 and ultimate have shitty fatalities and I never liked the dial-a-combos or the run button. Ultimate and especially Trilogy(PS1 version) improved upon 3 but I was kinda sick of MK by then. 2 is the best classic MK.

OMG. That game was boss.

Love it. Got my copy from a mom & pop video rental place. Told the owner he wasn't getting it back if I left with it, so he should probably just come up with a price to sell it.

Paper Mario and Fire Emblem 7. Both were completely amazing. New Paper Mario looks amazing. I doubt I'll play Fire Emblem 7 anymore. I deleted my Wii U virtual console save file because I was playing it too much >.< and my Priscilla had amazing stats

FE7 is a little too recent for me to get nostalgic about it but one-shotting a certain annoying wizard with Jaffar is pretty fucking awesome when it happens

Chrono Cross, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario Sunshine.

Forgot about SMRPG as well. Bit embarrassed I forgot a game I played to death but Chrono Trigger and FF6 overshadowed all the other RPGs in 94-95

When I talk about nostalgia I usually only talk about NES-SNES/Genesis games but as far as PS1 games go, Haloeffect mentioned Chrono Cross and I definitely have a special connection to that one. I did an entire playthrough of it where I'd only play it while high or tripping and the weird ass story made slightly more sense than it does playing it sober, lol. Playing it on mushrooms or 4-aco-DMT was especially nuts because the game itself without drugs is already incredibly psychedelic, and the beautiful music mixes very well with powerful psychedelics.

Weird post but had to mention that because it was so weird, and Mega Man 2 was another one of those NES games I played a lot as a kid even though I've always sucked horribly at it.

Even though I'm still fairly young, and will probably feel nostalgic when playing other games when I'm older, for now, I'd have to say Pokemon Gold for the GBC.
I remember when I first played it. The memory is almost as clear as some more recent memories.

Spoiler: this is pretty long whoops

I was in grade 2, it was after school when I was at where my mom worked at the time. She worked at some sort of security company, and she worked for quite a while after I was let out of school, so I always had to come with her to work and sit in the board room (?) and screw around on the GBA that they had there. They had a few GBC and GBA games there, I think one GBA and two GBC games? I think the GBA game they had was some sort of pinball game, and the other GBC game they had was some Mario game. (that I was total shit at) I ignored the GBA game and Pokemon Gold for a while, because I thought that neither of the games looked interesting, or like something I'd play. I eventually got bored with whatever Mario game they had, and decided to try out one of the other two games. I tried out Pokemon Gold, and while I don't remember exactly what I thought about it at first, I did end up playing it a lot. I don't remember how far into it I got though, but I don't think I ever finished it.
I had completely forgotten about the game until just recently when I decided to play Pokemon Heart Gold, and while playing it I realized that there was something about the music that seemed somewhat familiar, like I'd heard it before, then I started to remember playing Pokemon Gold when I was younger, and even some of the specific details I mentioned.

 

[VinsCool]

the legend of zelda, ocarina of time.

oh the memories.

still remember how to finish the game by heart, and did so millions of times.

The lost wood theme has an important place in my heart.

all the NES game I played (Zelda1, zelda2, Battle of olympus, Castlevania 2, to name a few known games, but I played a lot of other less known games)
some of Amiga games too. (Monkey island for example, my first point and click, as a good place in my heart)
