I just remember playing megaman 1 on NES over and over mostly to listen to the music after you beat the first bosses, i loved the music of that game so much!

    The end of Twilight Princess is permanently embedded into my mind. Just the silence of Ganondorf standing with the sword plunged through his chest is incredible and a little haunting at the end of that game.

    That, and when my dad showed me DOOM. That was a good day.

      Man, I have such vivid memories of going to Toys R Us for the first time (and subsequent times after that, honestly) and being in total awe that the entire store was dedicated to kids’ stuff. It’s really sad that kids won’t get to experience that anymore… I know tech is at the forefront of entertainment, regardless of age, but I would wager any kid would love the same kind of toys we had just as much.

    It’s not a good one but the first time I felt existential dread was playing Missile Command in the Atari 2600. I was about 8 and realized that the game only ends when all of your cities are destroyed and life is extinguished. No matter how I tried or how good I got the game would end in a devastation.

    On a good note, I remember skipping a party to play ocarina of time. I thought I would regret skipping the party, nah. OoT was and is still better.

    Not sure if I can pick one:

    • 4-player Mario Kart 64 with siblings
    • Command and Conquer Red Alert, Red Alert 2, and Generals with my dad and brother
    • Halo 1 and 2 co-op campaigns with my brother
    • 007 Nightfire multiplayer with my brother

    Playing Final Fantasy VII as a kid and realizing that video games had reached a level of storytelling on par with film or books.

    The N64 was the first console that was mine. I got it for my birthday. Before that, they always belonged to my older brother. We would play together and I’d always be player 2.

    Eventually when I got my own nintendo and my sister was old enough to play games, I became player 1. I remember being so proud being able to help her the same way my brother had for me. She was so impressed when I helped her beat the final boss in Majora’s Mask.

    There was nothing better than 4 player split screen for Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64

    edit: seconded only by 16 player Halo LAN parties in the early 2000s

    When my parents bought me a famiclone in the middle of 90s (best moment of sad reality in a recently liberated post-commie country).

    Going over to friends houses to play games. I never had a large library and playing new games. And the games I did have were the mane ones everyone else had so no one ever wanted to come over and play at my house.
