Secret of Mana – Just playing the title track is enough
https://youtu.be/y20pc_0zFgg
Diddy Kong Racing / Ocarina of Time
Both Legend of Zelda and Metroid games on the NES & SNES
Runescape!
Mario rpg or Chrono trigger
Turok 2
Super Mario Bros 3
Super Mario RPG on SNES. Before the dark times.
Has to be Fallout 3, or many other games from the Xbox360 era.
Although alot of PS2 or Dreamcast era games hit me also really hard in the nostalgia department.
Super Mario RPG and Link to the Past
I’ve played those two like 20 times each
Curse you for putting the image with no music! 😉
Starfox 64
For me, Star Wars battlefront. It was the first game I ever owned and I got it in the summer before middle school. The sad part is I can’t find a populated server anymore
Donkey Kong Country
I can hear that title screen. My comfort games are Link To The Past and Chrono Trigger.
Final Fantasy 6 or A Link to The Past for me
Pokémon Gold
Castle Crashers does it to me the most. Takes me right back to summer nights in grade school and sleepovers with the boys.
Pokémon
Halo:CE, command & conquer RA2
The windwaker
The original Sims and its expansions; I still have it on my machine and sometimes play it to chill. Great ost and just generally nostalgic.
Zelda ocarina of time all the way!
Vanilla World of Warcraft
Played the hell out of it on private servers and during classic. I can get lost for days just leveling up new characters in that world. Now I’m just hoping without hope that Microsoft does something to fix Actiblizzion so I can go back to it.
Diablo 2, the remaster has been a wonderful experience
Any of the three Fable games for me
Donkey Kong Country. Used to play that with my best friend all the time after school.
Chrono Trigger.
Recently started re playing Donkey Kong 64. Honestly what an awesome game . It actually gets kinda hard at a certain point too
Mario Kart DS
Animal Crossing on GameCube
Dark Souls 1.
Old arcade games like Pac-Man, Arkanoid, Space-Invaders, Gallaga, Gyruss, Tempest, Defender, Lady-bug etc.
Shows my age I guess.
Crash Bandicoot
Rollercoaster Tycoon.
The Secret of Monkey Island
Played with my dad, cause I was a kid and didn’t speak english
Earthbound
Arkham Asylum or Borderlands
Baldur’s Gate. Many factors but the mix of medieval atmosphere, exploration, playful music, magic and sense of adventure made an impression on young me.
Has to be Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic for me I always remember renting the game and being off sick from school just chilling, enjoying and being amazed by the game.
The original Knights of the old Republic
Portal 2 is the video game equivalent to comfort food
And when I’m feeling down I like to play through the Bramble levels of Donkey Kong Country 2
We Love Katamari
The Legend of Dragoon
Duke nukem 3d, such a great game. The sound effects alone are a nostalgia-gasm
Banjo-Kazooie. Every year, without fail, i go back and 100% this game.
I want to say Oblivion. Played the shit out of that back in 2007-2008….but that was also a time I was an unemployed, basement dweller with not a thought of how I’m going to get out of that rut (borderline depressed too). It was just wake up, make myself a coffee, wrap up in a snuggly blanket then Oblivion for the rest of the cold Winter day while everyone else in my family gets ready for work and leaves me home alone.
It’s a beautiful game, but just hearing that music brings my mind right back to that time. Like a nostalgic heartache.
Now I sometimes just pop on the OST when I am working in the office (a job I’ve loved for 10+ years now) and immediately it triggers me back to how I used to feel so hopeless and used Oblivion as an escape. Then I compare that previous state of mind to where I am now; working the in-house job I always wanted and in a much better place 🙂 Wish I could go back and tell my past self it’ll be alright.
Think I’ll reinstall it on Steam tonight. It’s been a few years!
Age of Empires II
