"Half life 2, I played it last year and couldn’t believe I was playing a 16 year old game."
"Rollercoaster Tycoon"
"The Simpsons: Hit & Run
Ah yes, child friendly GTA."
"Worms Armageddon. It looks nice enough and the fun is still there."
"Golden Sun for the GBA, if you’ve never tried it, I highly recommend it, its amazing"
"They say playing Tetris after experiencing trauma decreases the likelihood of developing PTSD."
"Starwars battlefront 2 the original still holds up. “Watch those wrist rockets!”"
"Chrono Trigger"
"I swear Street fighter 2 still has relatively nice graphics. It came out in 1991"
"Most old games feel clunky. Doom 1 and 2 are still as smooth as butter."
"A Link to the Past’s music and sound effects get me emotional too. My husband doesn’t understand, but he didn’t play Zelda until BotW. It’s more nostalgia (for me, at least) than anything. As soon as I hear that Kakariko music, it gets me every time. Teleports me right back to being 10 years old and having no worries. Life was good back then."
"Age of empires 2"
"Final Fantasy Tactics. Amazing story, great music, fun battle mechanics. The only issue is the difficulty (once you understand the game or grind levels) becomes trivial… but with mods – boom bam."
"Lemmings
“Oh no!” shakes head, then pops into confetti"
"Super Mario Brothers 3 was honestly a masterpiece. The graphics, the level designs, the gameplay, the scope, everything was worlds beyond any game before. It’s frankly amazing they were able to do so much n the limited Nintendo hardware."
"Knights of the Old Republic II. Probably one of my favorite games… ever."
"Baldur’s Gate 2."
"Super Metroid."

I remember many that you listed. I just got my son a Switch and we are playing the original Mario 3 together and he loves it.
Master blaster was epic. Tough game though.
Battle toads made me laugh. Fun. Silly. Challenging!
I killed it in Super Dodge Ball. Sam is the man!
Thanks for the memories. ;)
Another classic!
