Childhood Game Collection (INCOMPLETE)

The games that I owned throughout my childhood. Not a complete list as I simply cannot remember every game I’ve ever owned, but all the major ones will be here. I haven’t played many of these games in a very long time so I’ll only have stuff to say about a select few. For the purposes of this list I’m classifying everything before high school as my childhood.

I remember seeing a TV commercial for this game and then immediately asking my mom to buy it for me. One of the few times I displayed any sort of good taste when I was little.

I never beat either of the Sonic Adventure games as a kid because I would eventually reach a point where I stopped having fun and turned the game off. But I was always down to play City Escape.

My mom let me pick out one game at Walmart, and for some reason, out of all the games on the shelf, I picked this one. It’s a choice I have never and will never forgive myself for. God, they probably had Superstar Saga or Golden Sun and I picked this bullshit.

Dragon Ball GT: Transformation
Dragon Ball GT: Transformation

Fun story: I accidentally stole this game from Walmart. This happened when I was 7 years old. After getting the game off the shelf, I, absolutely enamored with it, walked around the store with the box in my hands staring at it the entire time we did the rest of our shopping. When we went to checkout I was still holding the box and neither my mom nor the cashier noticed that I still had it, so it never got scanned. It wasn’t until we were halfway home that we realized we had left the store without paying for the game. This turned out to be a good thing because this game sucks.

I put both this and Season of Ice on here not because I owned both but because I can’t remember which one I owned, I just know I owned one of them. Anyway, it seems Vicarious Visions’ calling was converting Playstation 3D platformers into 2D GBA games.

At the time I didn’t care much about Star Wars (watching Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith had convinced me that Star Wars was boring) beyond thinking Obi-Wan and Yoda were cool, but this shit was my life in middle school.

It was this weird touch screen based top-down third person shooter with first-person brawling sections. A real odd title.
