So I'm thinking about epic nostalgia recently (a marathon viewing of nostalgia critic episodes *may* have influenced me ) and nostalgic games of the past. If you guys had to choose the GOTY for your entire childhood, what would it be? I'd have to go with the Star Wars: Episode 1 game for ps1. As many of you may know I'm a massive, massive Star Wars fan, and this game (and respective movie) were what really got me into the series. It had it all, combat, adventure, exploration, role playing, I always say this but basically it was Mass Effect before Mass Effect was Mass Effect. Better story too. s9 yeah that's my growing up GOTY. What's yours fellow Pimp Zoners?!

Probably GoldenEye 007. I spent like 9002 hours inputting random Gameshark codes and then documenting the results trying to come up with cool effects.

Morrowind. In middle school I played it with basically every second of free time I had. Wake up, Morrowind, go to school, come home, Morrowind, go to bed and start it over. Then on weekends, wake up Morrowind go to bed. Never been addicted to a game like that before or since.

Most likely I'd have to say, going purely on gut feels alone, Diablo 2 or the Warcraft 2 Level Editor or maybe Rollercoaster Tycoon. If I had to be a little more objective about it, I'd probably say Quake 3/Live even though I only started playing it in 2012, or Victoria: An Empire Under The Sun.

Taking very recent releases into account, it's hard not to put Super Mario Maker in at least the top 5 games of all time.

Impossible to choose, but if I had to pick a single great memory from my childhood, it would be when I went over to my best friend's house and he had Secret of Mana, and we played co-op, that blew my mind. What a fun time. I wouldn't even put that game in my top 3 SNES games but man that was fun. rediscover posted:Lufia 2, OP. runner up

I think it is the game since https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGuPONzYm28 I remember this music I think. I was 2 or 3 when I played it last though so.

I uses to rent vattletoads a lot and I'd play co-op with my sister and we'd always agree to share items and vehicles but if I got on the first pink bird thing she'd always scream and smash me off.
