Here we talk about games that give us crazy amounts of nostalgia. I'll start..

Crash Bandicoot Series
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (Original Ps1)
Spiderman ps1
Ape Escape
Spyro the Dragon Series
Rayman
Need for Speed Underground


I know I'm missing a lot, but that is what I remember for now. As you can clearly see, I was raised through the eyes of a Playstation.

Need for Speed Underground is the only one I'm familiar with, although my brother played Tony Hawk a lot. For me, the following bring back great memories:
- Final Fantasy II, III, VII, VIII, and X
- Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
- Chrono Trigger (currently replaying on an emulator, along with FF III)
- Secret of Mana
- Secret of Evermore
- Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis
- Goldeneye
- LoZ: Link to the Past, LoZ: Ocarina of Time
- Mario Party
- Halo: Combat Evolved
- Starfox
- Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

I'm leaving out many of my favorites as well, I'll probably add more to this post once I think of them. As you can see though, I was an RPG child. The SNES was the golden age for RPG's.

I probably forgot a few but these were absolute classics. Hopefully you guys can relate.

^^very nice lists, although I am not familiar with all the games. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is also great. I played it for the ps1. I also have slight memories of playing Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Genesis as well. And of course, 007: Nightfire. So much nostalgia has been had with that game. I used to play that all the time at friends houses.

Nightfire was awesome. I loved the weapons classes like Cloak and Dagger and all that. The weapons like the Samurai laser gun and the remote control vehicles were awesome. Such a great campaign too. What were your guys' favorite maps? I liked Snowblind, Fort Knox, and Atlantis. Anyone else play the Battlefront series? Probably my favorite games ever.

I never played Battlefront at all. As for Nightfire, my two favorite maps were Snowblind and The Ravine. Remember Odd Job's hat? That was hilarious getting a kill all the way across the map lol. That was indeed a great game. I liked the State of the Art class as well. Lots of good shit was located in this game.

Oh I forgot the Starfox series for Nintendo. Goldeneye was another good 007 game but I played Nightfire a lot more. Wow I remember Battletanx. I never played that much but I sure do remember it. I wish I played the older Halo games. I never had an Xbox or a good PC and I never ended up getting into it right before the third one came out.

Megaman was fun. I had Megaman Legends for the PS1 and played that for a little while. I do not remember much of it at all though. Cool Boarders 2 sounds very familiar and I did in fact play Shawn Palmer's Snow Boarder for the PS2. That was also a great game and obviously stemmed from my liking of past Tony Hawk gameplay.

The Mega Man & Mega Man X (up until 4) series will always stand out to me. Although I've beaten Mega Man X countless times and it's fairly simple, it never gets old. I remember playing the shit out of that Tony Hawk 2 demo and being mind blown that you could manual. Couldn't you win a prize if you got the top score in the nation or something for that demo?

I'm not sure about the Tony Hawk prize, but I can totally see it. Tony Hawk 2 was crazy and I remember they had ways to become Spiderman and stuff. Such a classic game. I also enjoyed the song choices they had for those back in the day.

10 grand? jesus.

Ha, I forgot about Spider-Man. He had the best specials. I enjoyed the music too. As a fan of hip hop, they actually picked some great tracks. And the great tracks kept on coming with future releases.

Wow we all forgot about Gameboy. That's when we were all really young though. The Pokemon series?? Haha total classics. Not for the new crap though. The originals were the best. I also forgot Donkey Kong for the Nintento. That was another awesome game.
