100% this has been my last two years in gaming. Xcom, Warcraft I and II, Outpost 2, Stars!, Cave Story, Sim Tower/Sim City, Darklight Conflict and now working through Chrono Trigger
I still frequently play the newer xcom 1-2. I really want to play the originals, but I feel like I need to read some guide of the basics, since it’s not very clear. I assume back in the day there must have been a manual or something to reference.
I learned about MissingNo back on the playgrounds and read about how to catch him. It said it was risky, but me a kid, tried it anyway thinking what could be the harm.
I caught it! I was scared of losing it, so I hit Save and turned off my Game Boy Color. Booted it up, and my save file was gone. Kid me was crushed, and I chastised myself for being so stupid to risk it despite all the warnings.
My first play through of Pokémon Red was wiped out completely. My first party, my certificate of getting all Pokes (that I desperately wanted to print with a Game Boy Printer my folks never got us), all gone. I spent HOURS trying to find Mew under that damn truck. All of it - gone.
This was Star Trek The Next Generation for me during the pandemic. Everything was so bleak, and a familiar and hopeful future brought me back from the edge of depression.
Hey Quest 64! I almost beat this game as a kid, I think I was renting it.
I miss Blast Corps and Body Harvest as well, so many unique games on N64. Body Harvest was a clear predecessor to the 3D GTA games, being able to jump into any vehicle felt insane at the time.
Blast Corps was my favorite single player game on the system that wasn’t Ocarina of Time. Though, I still think the ending to the story was awful and anti-climatic.
This game was the only one that managed to give me motion sickness. I don’t know what was up with the graphics, but I felt nauseous after watching my brother play it for a few hours. Maybe it was all the flashing lights, small fonts, repetitive music, and confusing camera angles.
Quest 64 is my FAVORITE “bad” game! The difficulty spikes were annoying, the damn island that traps you there until you kill a boss is always stronger than I am, the game drones on near the end, but there was nothing like that combat system on the N64! I want a modern remake to solve the many problems plaguing this game!
I had it, but I had no idea what I was doing, so I didn’t make it very far.
I don’t remember if this came out before or after we got internet at home (and I never had the Nintendo Power magazine), so there wasn’t much to do about that.
