Games that you played as a kid that you still play to this day?

[L@ST_Dinosaur]

What the thread title says ^^^^ Along with that, what are some of your favorite memories as a kid? For me, I remember playing Wind Waker as a kid and coming across the big octo for the first time. I'm not sure why but I dropped my controller and just ran out of the room in fear, I ask all my other friends that played Wind Waker about it and I seemed to be the only one that got that scared.

I give Kirby Super Star a run through every few years. Chrono Trigger is similar, but less frequent.

 

[Space Stranger]

All the Super Mario Advance games except for Yoshi's Island. I really wish I had an E-reader...

 

[finalark]

Sonic Adventure 2 is my go-to game whenever I'm feeling down. I know it's aged like crap but it was a big part of my childhood. I've also revisited Spyro 1-3, Mario Sunshine, Sonic 2 and most of the older Final Fantasy games on multiple occasions. On that note, I like to replay FFIX in particular every other year or so.

On the multiplayer front my friends and I still frequently play Kirby Air Ride, Melee and Mario Party 4.

 

[MajinBuu272]

i have always liked guitar hero... if i have nothing to play or am bored of my other games i will play a guitar hero game :-)
GH3 is the best tho...

 

[Collective of Bears]

Monster Rancher. I've got a nice handful of the games, not all of them, but most, and I play them on a semi-regular basis. 4 is my favorite, personally. It's such a shame that the series has all but died. It's a beautifully complex game with some amazing designs.

 

[Arc1llusion]

Tetris Attack and/or Pokemon Puzzle League. Always been one of my favorite games.

Honorable mention to Kirby Super Star.

Tetris attack was a Very good game, but i never beat it... and nice Egoraptor Mario

 

[Arc1llusion]

I spent way too much time with Tetris Attack. I can beat the "hidden" Very Hard difficulty in under 20 minutes... But to be fair that's not that bad. Pokemon Puzzle League AI in the harder modes are a different story though.

And thanks :B I decided it represented me well.

[SilentBob]

I'd have to go with Mega Man X to X3 and Majora's Mask. I replay through those games at least once a year.

 

[Jdawg9876]

Any Nintendo 64 game, really. That and the Dragon Ball Z Budokai series on the Playstation 2.

 

[Moydow]

Most of my N64 collection, even if the system itself has aged badly physically and randomly resets itself sometimes for no apparent reason.

 

[Trickerhere]

Zelda, Smash, Pokemon, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, and ETC.

 

[Himynameisisaac]

Sonic Heroes is a constant go to for me. Along with Sonic 1,2 and 3. Sonic Adventure 2 only to play City Escape. Any Nintendo 64 game. Especially Mario 64. Link's Awakening. The Original Rayman. and of course Ocarina of Time.

These are games that i can play over and over and not get bored lmao.

 

[SomewhatMystia]

Sonic Adventure 2 only to play City Escape.

Outside of the Chao Garden, that's pretty much the only reason I play SA2.

 

[M.C.Jeducation]

Smash 64 and Melee im obviously never going to stop playing. Besides them, definitely the original Spyro Trilogy, Super Mario Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion are games that I play semi-regularly-ish.

 

[Kenith]

I think this applies to all of us:

 

[missla]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Originally played it on the SNES and it's one of those games I never ever get tired of.

 

[LIQUID12A]

I still have a working copy of Digimon Rumble Arena for the PS1. It's aged about as well as spoiled cheese, but I find it fun to play.

It's also horribly unbalanced, so Reapermon spam is fun.

 

[Captain Zack]

tetris attack for the snes. iirc i'm holder of one of the best scores in the world.

 

[Falcon Beatdown]

Um... SSB64? xD

 

[finalark]

I think this applies to all of us:

I actually never an N64 as a kid. I played this game at a friend's house quite a bit when I was young. For me, the go-to Mario game is Mario Sunshine.

Well, either way, 90% of these forums have extensively played a Mario platformer from their childhood, and at least 70% played a 3D platformer.

Personally, I like Sunshine worlds more than 64, in fact it was the one of the games I got with the Gamecube, the others being Resident Evil and Phantasy Star Online. All of which I have extensively played.
EDIT: Also, run-on sentences.

 

[Reila]

Mario Sunshine is better than Mario 64, to me. Anyways, to answer the thread: Donkey Kong Country 2, Mega Man 7, Mega Man X, Super Bomberman 3 and Majora's Mask. I replay those games at least once a year. Also, I still play The King of Fighters '97 to this day.

 

[gmBottles]

Animal Crossing. That was my go to game when I wanted something to do when I was younger. That music, man. Hearing music from the original Gamecube version of AC just brings back so many memories.

 

[16bit]

Wind Waker has always been one of my favorite games of all time. I've always like the graphic style and feel of adventure that it has.

 

[jr22]

Mega Man, SSB64, OOT, Mortal Kombat 4, Any old Mario game, Street Fighter and sometimes Star fox 64.

jr22 with all teh games *two thumbs up*

 

[LunarWingCloud]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The Android remaster that has Hidden Palace Zone revitalized my love for it.

 

[JusticeColde]

Super Mario Bros. 3.
It never gets old for me, though I'm not as good at playing it now as I used to be.

 

[Gatlin]

Ocarina of Time and Starfox 64. I've played through each game at least once or twice a year since their release. Honorable mention to Pokemon R/B.

 

[Flareon]

Kingdom Hearts, Mega Man Zero 1-3, Golden Sun 1 and 2, and occasionally Super Mario 64.

 

[Spak]

Melee & Smash 64, Ratchet & Clank, Battlefront, Mario Kart: Double Dash, ATV Offroad Fury 2, Spyro 1&2, F-Zero X & Maximum Velocity, Sonic Adventure 1&2, Sonic Advance 1&3, Kirby Air Ride, Star Fox 64, Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams and Pokemon Gen 1-4 (Past that is starting to get into my teenage years). I've neglected my Animal Crossing for so long that it would take a whole day to pull up all of the weeds, but I made a lot of progress in that game when I was little and revisit it every once in a while.

 

[LancerStaff]

I've been continually replaying damn near everything since the beginning. Megaman, Zelda, Mario, and even more recent things like Ace Attorney I still replay, although that's not exactly my childhood... Admittedly I've had people keeping me from "bad" games since I could hold a Gameboy.

Some games never really stuck though.
"Why is it so hard to walk around stuff? Why is there so many buttons? Why does Mario look like a raisin? Why does flying suck? Why do I have to replay levels to get to new ones? Why can't I ride Yoshi?"
...Yeah. I sure did bug everybody alot when they had me try SM64.

 

[Krackshot Kroc]

I still play Star Fox 64 even to this day; although it's a short game I'm always trying to improve my overall score lol

Got all the medals yet? That's what I'm currently working on. I got about 3/4 of them once and then my memory somehow got messed up...

Oh yeah I have all of them on Main Game and on Expert; I've put way too much time into the game lmao so I get the medal every time I visit a planet

 

[umbrapunky]

Smash 64. I still play San Andreas sometimes for the soundtrack and good vibes too. Tony Hawk's Underground too.
