That was before I got into RPGs with Earthbound, so... Sonic 3 & Knuckles, maybe? It's kind of hard to think of just one favorite game when you were a certain age. I mean in my case, I was playing lots or NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, and N64 between ages 12 and 18, with some of the greatest games ever made taking up most of my time.

I honestly don't fucking remember. Just checking game releases to get a sense of what would have been out, I'd assume Starcraft and Ocarina of Time would have been up there if I played them the year of their release. Harvest Moon apparently came out in 1997 so I'd assume I'd have played that by that point.

The problem with these things is that unless you have specific memories, you kinda have to look at games that came out on/before that year and guess that you played them on release.

I usually got games for christmas, so my favorite game of 1998 was Fallout, whereas my favorite game in 1999 was Starcraft.

Even back in the day I and others were well aware that we were living a shit lifestyle for a US citizen.

It's not that many games. One should have like 20 games at least and he lists merely 22. You're not satisified until you have hundreds of games if you like video games, so what is the issue? 20*60 usd, some spend that much per day on specialized food products in first world nations. It's 20 days of eating out, and people tend to do that multiple times per month in nice living scenarios. 04-06 is potentially 3 birthdays and 3 christmasses. It's not a lot of games, though indeed I had about five games in a course of 10 years growing up myself and they were hand-me-downs from others.

You and I were likely raised by conservative assholes that were trying to 'make a man' out of their little projects rather than just let the human live a life. As it is I'm a broken man, 31 and have never worked, and you're here on 4chan too so that's why you're here.

That guy that isn't fucked, he's a zoomer, so zoomers are more disconnected by default, hence their normalfaggot invasions killing all imageboards and such. it's sad and why I'm on /vr/, that and range bans are a thing, but /vr/ was to escape the faggotry.
