What are some games you never played until you were an adult but feel like they're part of your childhood?

Strangely enough despite absolutely loving Phantasy Star 2 and 3 on Genesis, I didn't buy or play PS4 until nearly 20 years later. I played Phantasy Star Online before PS4.

Having played PS4 via emulation, it sort of slotted into my memory next to the other titles and triggers the same childhood nostalgia despite that I played it as an adult.

Oddly. FFTA also feels like a childhood memory even though i played it just a few years ago for the first time.

I played on a real SEGA Saturn one time in my life, decades ago at my cousin's house one summer. He had the NiGHTS Sampler and I think Street FIghter Alpha 1 or 2. Anyway. as the story goes, we played NiGHTS that evening and none of us could be Gillwing, but I remember hitting him in the eye somehow and it looked cool. The next day I watched him play Street Fighter for a little bit. I never touched NiGHTS again until last year when I finally started emulating Saturn games and played both stories until the end to unlock the true ending. It's a fantastic game and makes me feel like I'm rediscovering a lost part of my childhood, since the most I ever played was up to Gillwing. There's also Game Boy in general, since I never owned a Game Boy growing up, but knew kids that had one. Harvest Moon I constantly heard about from Nintendo Power but never tried until I got a proper emulator handheld with GB form factor.

9 sort of has a nice timeless fantasy quality to it. A lot of it's design elements really reinforce that sense of nostalgia for the previous games just enough to get that wistful feeling going but not step too hard where it's not without it's own ideas.

Recently got Quake on PC and the only other time I playedd it was at a Sega Gameworks as a young lad. It was set up on a massive screen hanging from the ceiling and a comfy chair that only had room for one. Playing it on PC is not as grandiose but I get the same feeling as when I played it that one time all those years ago.

It starts off light hearted, but it has some pretty dark moments. A central theme of the game is death, like characters coming to terms with their mortality. It's a really really good game, the combat is incredibly slow though. And it's very comfy, it's my favourite ff
