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.

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

My mom couldn’t afford to buy me real Bionicles but she could afford to buy me this game. Twice. Except this time instead of being a mediocre third person shooter it’s a mediocre first person shooter.

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’d had four different consoles by this point and owned only one decent racing game on any of them. This isn’t it, by the way.

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.

I would be more than happy with Rockstar releasing these smaller-scale top-down handheld GTA games in between the main ones, but alas.

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 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.
