nostalgia

The games that made me who I am today.

List items

• 

  1. Taz

  first exposure to games included this fun little number on my friend's 2600.

• 

  2. Galaga

  I played this so much as a child, unsupervised, in arcades, that decades later I still get high scores (most recently at the Alamo Drafthouse).

• 

  3. Mappy

  haters will hate but this game has some excellent sound design and pacing.

• 

  4. 3 In Three

  I ordered this game by mail several months after it came out. IIRC my sister (puzzle game fanatic) had heard of it but didn't have a Mac. This game was directly responsible for a few weeks of low, low grades. I go to a happy place every time I play it (and it's been too long!)

  5. The Fool's Errand

  6. Kid Icarus
• 

  7. Kid Niki: Radical Ninja

  Loved this game growing up. Not a very forgiving game, but so fast and so fun.
