I think we all have these special games, that either never quit our harddrive, or always sit atop the cartridge/disc pile.
Mine are:
-
Zelda: Oracle of Ages
-
Morrowind
-
Nuclear Throne
The first two are my little “madeleines de proust”, memory triggering games that are always soothing when feeling down. There’s nothing like being called “OUTLANDER” five times while crossing an alleyway in Balmora; really brings a smile to my face!
And Nuclear Throne has reached a point where it’s become my peripheral tester; a bit like what Massive Attack’s Mezzanine is for audiophiles. I’m embarrassingly bad at it, seldom reaching the titular throne (let’s not talk about looping…), but damn, do I love just dumbly shooting everything on sight.
Simpsons: Hit & Run. It’s nostalgic and offers a surprising level of challenge. I usually do not finish it all the way though, because the missions get repetitive pretty quickly. The writing is pretty fun.
Recently, a guy on YouTube remade the game in Unreal Engine. It’s really fun to watch, but I am a bit sad that will never be able to try it myself.
Why won’t you be able to try it?
Sorry if prying
