Honestly, one of the best aerial combat games to ever exist imo. It was up there with Rogue Squadron, it’s still quotable to this day, and it’s just.. fun. I remember renting this from Hollywood Video and never returning it lol.
The first video game I felt accomplished and triumphant when I finished it. A true gem and a piece of my childhood I’ll always cherish. My mom knew how much I loved this game that she even threw me an Ocarina of Time themed birthday party. It was such a great time. The game itself feels like you’re playing through a folk tale classic of good and evil, and saving the princess. But I love the aspect of time traveling between child and man. It was a cool concept to experience and figure out with puzzles and monsters with magic weapons. Also while caring for NPCs like they were actual characters, and not just fellow pixels like I was use to at that age. At that time I just saw other characters as other characters, and not characters as companions, until this game. The music is so timeless as well.
Definitely up there as one of my favorites of all time. That final fight made me feel so epic as a kid. It was the first time I felt like I was fighting a real boss. I never got that experience YEARS later until I started playing the Soulsborne games.

A pretty bad port and it was the only version I’ve ever played of this game. Just not too much fun and found the computer and the learning curve more difficult this time around.
1993
My memory of this one was very brief but I remember not having as much fun as I did with the first game. But however I did enjoy the new selection of characters and how interactive the stages and fatalities were. The graphics even seemed more improved and detailed from what I remember.
1980
Kind of dark to be playing this game as a little kid now that I think about it. But hey man, it was kinda cool trying to pin point your missiles to counter the attacking missiles. And loved seeing the explosions. Go figure.
My memory of this was very brief cause my cousin only let me play like a few seconds of this. But man did it look cool and fun at such a young age. Every body was already hyped because of how badass the movie was. Unfortunately I never got to truly play this. Or even play it at the arcade. It always had a line at the arcade.
1992
First time I ever saw blood and gore in a video game and I was like, 4 lol. But holy fuck was it FUN. My sister would piss me the fuck off cause she would destroy me when she was Raiden. I’m pretty sure this was the game that had to bring in the ESRB rating system that we know of today haha. I just remember seeing news reports about it as a little kid and how politics blamed this for cause of violence.
1986
I remember playing this as a kid and getting so lost and confused. I never owned it but my aunt had the NES and this, along with the Ninja Turtles NES game and Duck Hunt, and I just played these for the first time at her place. But I always preferred playing this cause I loved hearing the music when exploring and it felt so open world. I also died a lot so there’s that.
1972
The bare-bones of bare-bones. And it’s still fucking fun and can be funny as fuck when playing hella wasted or high with friends/family. The first video game, and what do you know?! It’s not a shitty one!
1989
Another one of those classic games where you can just shut your brain off and just get lost while lining up odd shaped pairs of blocks. As each level progresses faster and faster. I recently watched the Tetris (2023) film and I don’t know how much of it was true, but even if some of the backstory is true about this little puzzle game, and all the chaos it caused, then hooooly shit.
1981
Great game to just chill and play whether you feel like shit, or feel awesome, it’s just such a numbing feeling by looking at your ship, pew-peeing your missiles at the bug ships. And then getting your plane abducted and having it rescued and you have TWO planes. Just so arcade-y and cool. A simple classic. And one of my favorite games of all time.
Never got far in this. Always got lost and the design made it hard for me on the Game Boy when I was a kid. But I always appreciated the design and feel of the levels, it’s a sci-fi atmosphere. The soundtrack, the sounds, everything about this was cool. And was my first experience with Metroid in general.
1994
The first Game Boy game that made the handheld console worth it. It was this and Tetris that had me hooked on that thing. The timed maps as being little puzzles and trying to get a key to the door, and then getting to the end of each “section” by fighting Donkey Kong and dodging the barrels. Just so much fun.
1996
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better than this, it did. The true definition of platforming, along with the original Crash Bandicoot, just owned platformers in the 90’s. I was hooked on my 64 when this came out and it made me fall in love with the good ol’ friendly Italian plumber again. Swinging Bowser around never got old.
