What's that one game, above them all, that you want to experience for the first time again? The game that was so fucking magical that it blew your mind?

Mario 64 for the first time was honestly one of the better gaming experiences ever. The movement felt so smooth, jumping into paintings looked really cool.

Also, Chrono Trigger.. I remember getting that for my birthday, running to put it into my SNES, then watching the pendulum swing, and play into the attract mode intro. It was SO COOL looking. The music still gives me goosebumps, it's so good.

Super Metroid.

Beating it felt like quite the feat when I was about 8. I've never looked at videogames the same way since.

I love the open world that is gated off until you find more equipment, all the cool shortcuts, the breakable walls, it seemed like a real place.

As well as Desecrated Temple theme.

Id have to pick EverQuest. The game is shit now. But it was a fucking amazing experience for the first 2 expansions on the PvP servers.

This isn't /vr/, but San Andreas.

I remember the first time I got done with the Los Santos missions and got dumped in the wilderness, miles away from my friends and family, I knew it was going to be much more ambitious than anything GTA had done up to that point, and the series hasn't hit a high like that since.

desu. Sinistar.
I only ever experienced it in a arcade collection (Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits). I want to experience it in an arcade. It was the only game I played on that collection. I love the whole idea about Sinistar, puts a nice spin on the conventional "fly around space and shoot shit" type of game. I'd love to play it in the sit down cabinet (first arcade cabinet to implement stereo sound)

Mine would be Majora's Mask

After a lot of time of not knowing what to do exactly in Clock Town, and discovering the bombers password.
The astral observatory and it's music was magical, it had a sense of success in the game.

Ultima 7. At the time, it was such a massive, detail-packed world to explore, full of quests, subplots, drama, mysteries, interesting characters. My memory of opening it for my birthday is crystal clear.

Wings for the Amiga was a close second.
