Favourite Childhood/Throwback Games?

[♥ Shinx ♥]

We always love the nostalgia of old games, and I am no exception. I thought I'd make a thread for us to share those first games we fell in love with!

My faves were:
Spy vs Spy
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger
Scaler
Spyro
Ratchet and Clank (mainly Up Your Arsenal was the one I played the heck out of)

I remember sitting in the lounge with my Grandma as she played Spyro and Ratchet and Clank (yes my Grandma!!) and I would do the hard levels she couldn't get past

Share your stories, and fave games!

Yo Ty was the bomb!!! It was hard iirc, but loved the scenes because I love animals and loved the accuracy of the Australian wildlife. Ranger Ken was my fave!

My comfort zone games are:
- Crash Bandicoot Warped
- Crash Team Racing (infinitely better than Mario Kart and I will die on this hill)
- Banjo Tooie
- Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando
- Spyro the Dragon 1
- Rollercoaster Tycoon

And these old AF kinda janky PC games that for some reason just get me so hyped

Lords of Magic (my dad bought it for like 2 cents at Best Buy lmao):


Dungeon Odyssey (I still listen to this soundtrack and one of the songs I use to this day as my alarm...the music from the village):

Am I the only one who remembers the shoot the duck game for the N64 I believe it was?

Also, original Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow.
StarFox Adventures
Sonic 2 Adventure

Hell yeah so good! I completely forgot about pokemon tbh

I just remember a few scenes of Ty, I'm very tempted to get the remastered switch version even though I've heard it isn't that great

Fusion Frenzy on the OG xbox. I fucking LOVED that game so much. It was local multiplayer but no one ever played with me so I spent hours playing the mini-games against CPUs. It was so fun.

I also loved playing The Urbz: The Sims on the OG xbox as well. Such a banger of a game tbh. I also played a lot of Golden Sun on the Gameboy, and of course Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Crystal. And the OG Sims on PC and xbox too!

Possibly a little older for the majority of peeps here, but the OG Commander Keen series and even Hugo's House of Horrors series. I grew up playing these on our ancient old school PC back in the day and spent countless hours enjoying every bit of these relics <3 Anyone else had the pleasure of playing some older masterpieces?

Ohhh I just thought of another couple that I recently started playing again :o

Rollercoaster Tycoon (there's a 'new' version of it released a few years ago called Roller Coaster Tycoon: Classic which is playable on tablets/phones AND through Steam on PC). Played countless hours and hours of this one back in the day. I still remember all of the peep names that you could name them to change different attributes towards your park.


and the age old classics, Age of Empires series <3 Spent many an hour or several whilst at school in IT class (supposed to be doing actual school work..... yeah, nah) playing multiplayer LAN's with my mates
