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.
127 Games
All the criticisms of Gameboy Advance Video are extremely valid, but being able to watch TV shows and movies on my GBA blew my mind as a kid.

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.

I think this is the greatest PSP game ever made, and I would consider it the greatest rhythm game of all time if Theatrhythm Final Fantasy didn’t exist.

The first first person shooter I ever played. I unfortunately didn’t appreciate it at the time because I was a dumb kid who wanted to be playing CoD 4 like everybody else.

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.

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 had let my cousin play my copy of this game with a 100% complete save file. When I got the game back from him and saw that he had deleted said save file, that was the closest I had ever come to strangling somebody.

Wartime drama mixed with a heavy dose of anime bullshit and I was OBSESSED. So obsessed I would name characters in other video games after rhis game’s main character.

My uncle visited one time and just gave me a copy of this and LocoRoco. I found the cheat code for infinite grinds and basically ruined the game for myself but I had a ton of fun.

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.
