Most nostalgic games

[wyvernfaire]

After sugar_cookie mentioned Heroes of Might and Magic yesterday, I started getting really nostalgic about all those ancient games that are just barely hanging on at the edge of my memory. Games like Ecco the Dolphin, Little Big Adventure, Earthworm Jim, and all the old LucasArts point 'n' clicks...

I thought I'd make a post here since I'm curious about what games make everyone else feel nostalgic, and if there's anything you remember playing that you wish you could get a hold of today! :)

Ah, LBA! I've only ever played the second one, but I liked it a lot. :~)

The game I miss the most is probably Civilization 1, just for nostalgia's sake. My mum and I were given a *coughrippedcough* game, so we didn't have the manual and every time a security question came up we wrote it down, and tried the answers until we got the right ones. :D And I really wish I could get Civ 2 Gold Multiplayer edition on Steam *sigh*.

I also miss one of the King's Quest games, which I eventually found somewhere, now that I think about it, with a DOS emulator and everything...

Mostly I miss my old GameGear though, as it eventually broke. My classmate and I would swap our games all the time, and he always finished mine before I did! :D Except for Wonder Boy, which apparently never ended. He left it paused overnight one time, and he still didn't get to the finish.

I'd say The Longest Journey too, but I discovered last year that they sell it online, so I have it now! \o/ Best Norwegian game ever made.

You can get some genesis games off Steam in a Windows friendly non-pirate emulator version. I did. :)

Have you looked at Good Old Games? http://www.gog.com

I miss my Sega Saturn and games like Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighters Megamix, D, and Lunacy.

Omg ECCO. Dude, I used to hire that game pretty much every weekend! (Yeah, I don't know why I didn't just buy it either) I never really completed it but I had so much fun being the dolphin. :3

OMG, Ecco, just give me Ecco please? I loved playing that game!

Or another classic I remember playing was "Booger Man," both gross and entertaining. x3

But the ones that make me most nostalgic would be the ones I played with my brother and dad, Skitchin', Road Rash, Sonic Spinball, and Crue Ball. I would love Skitchin and Road Rash the most!
