So my parents were cleaning out some of their closets and they found a box containing a bunch of my old stuff. They called me up and I went over to pick it up and took it back home. As I was digging through it, I found my old Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance, as well as all my games that went with them! To say I was excited is a vast understatement.
I've been playing them a little, but I've come to realize that I've since been spoiled modern conveniences like back lights and higher definition, so its been kinda hard. Among the many games I found what was and still is one of my favorite games of all time: Golden Sun. This was a game that pretty much was the defining JRPG experience for me during my early teens. It came out one day before my 13th birthday, in fact.
I still love playing the game after all this time and was quite happy to discover that Nintendo re-released the game on the Wii-U. So any of you who haven't played the game, I highly recommend it.
Anyway, now that I've waxed nostalgic for a bit, I wanted to ask you guys what were those games that you absolutely loved when you were growing up? If you are still growing up, then well, just name some of the games that have had/are having a big impact on you recently. Something that you will remember for a long time. Then we old folks can sit back, shake our heads in dismay, and mutter something about "kids these days."
