I remember playing them when they came out, I was a kid back then. And, now as an adult, I can't for the life of me, think of any song of The Two Thrones. Was the OST that bad? SOT has Cinematic Persian inspired music, WW has heavy metal in general, and T2T has.... er... The gameplay was fun, but I always felt it was.... I dunno... rushed?

I grew up having my mind blown by Mario 64 and OoT, which I am so grateful for. Experiencing those games as a child when they were considered cutting edge was a magical experience. And the. There was pic related. Dark and strange but oh so compelling.

I was born early 1990. The early video games I remember playing was on the OG Gameboy and DOS games. I probably had the most fun from playing DOS games. I had a PC before I ever had a personal television to play console games. My favorite game was Commander Keen and In Search of DR Riptide.

I was 6-7 years old when this game came out (born 98), the aesthetics are nice but the controls were fucking trash. But on a much better note, I really enjoyed playing RE6 with my friend in highschool along with battlefield 4. The ps3, now that was a gaming console.

no game "defined" my childhood, I played a bunch of different games. I can't even come up with a particular game I talked with my friends about the most either, we kept talking about a different game every other day. How can you have static snapshots of the most energetic and active period of your life?

86 here as well, and my taste is my experience was almsot identical, except my RE2 experience was on PC. also swap out Soul Blade with Grim Fandango. I would also be tempted to swap something out with The Sims, but it would be tough to remove something.

I have fond memories of playing Soul Blade at LazerQuest with my dad when I was younger, so it had to be included. I had a PC, but honestly never used it for gaming; unless you count things like Mario Teaches Typing or Reader Rabbit. Otherwise, all my gaming was on the usual suspects plus a few others.

I won't deny it. For a while there I considered this my favorite game. Great graphics on the Dreamcast, the game was fun and fast paced and had all these different styles to play around with, Shadow was cool, the music was great and Rouge made me feel funny.
It's still my favorite Sonic game, but as a game it's like a 6/10, maybe a 7/10 if I'm feeling particularly generous that day.

If you gave Double Dash to somebody for Prince of Persia, you did in fact not get the better deal in that one.
