Crash Bandicoot 2. I used to play it once a year, not so much since the remakes came out. I need to bring out the OG soon.
Gaming
Not really childhood more like teenage but mass effect is one I regularly go back to.
Every Christmas I sit down and play the same map Christmas map in Viscera Cleanup Detail.
As for playing tradition. I will always fall back on Tyrian 2000, which I have dubbed as the best use of 15 megabytes you can use. It's a top down shmup from the way back that has a lot of gameplay, plenty of awesome weapons, secrets, and a decent mobile port.
Either Minecraft or Sonic the Hedgehog 3 would take that title for me
Both of those are games I've played LOTS of when I was younger (well, I am still quite young) which provided me with lots of fun and I just kind of come back to playing them periodically.
Either because there is some cool new community project I want to try or because I just miss playing the games.
I make it a point to play mario 64 ds at least once a year
i havent seen it on ds, is it the same but with better graphics?
Kinda, it also adds 3 new characters: wario, yoshi, and luigi. You unlock certain characters (mario himself, somehow, luigi, and wario) during portions of the game. Various missions require certain characters to be unlocked, but most of the game can be beaten with just mario. It also has some new levels too. It's a childhood favorite of mine, though best way to play it would be on 3DS or emulator cause the original ds lacked a joystick.
Master of Magic, Baldur's Gate...
A lot of my childhood favorites are getting remasters.
Final Fantasy X is a game i always come back to. Have played it already serveral times.
That scene where Yuna performs the sending in Besaid, chef's kiss Still makes me shed a tear or so after all this time.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Illusion of Gaia, both for SNES.
Two of my favourite games growing up, still have both complete in their boxes. Have bought and sold a lot of games over the years but these two were just something special that I could never get rid of and I still play em almost yearly.
