Minsweeper was unexpected. But I actually get it. It’s such a good game to pass a short amount of time
There was a time where I was addicted to this game. Achieved a 23 second run on intermediate once.
Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask are two of my favorite games of all time, along with Link’s Awakening. I want so badly to replay them, but I’m scared they might not have stood the test of time, and I don’t want to become disillusioned.
You should definitely play OoT Master Quest. It’s the same game with more challenging dungeons. It’s great!
I think I played it. I had a gamecube disk with that. That was quite a long time ago, though.
I played them again when they were released for Nintendo Switch Online. There were a lot of people who were disappointed with the versions, but I had a lot of fun with them.
Maybe this recompiled version of Majora’s Mask is something for you?
Oooh thanks! Someone shared this with me a while back, and I had bookmarked it and planned to check it out, but I forgot. I see now they have a Linux version too.

I remember playing Mario 64 at my grandparent’s house when it first came out. My grandpa, who was born in the 1920s, was absolutely stunned. He said, “this is a video game?!” and then just say and watched me play.
Haha that’s awesome. I remember playing a racing game on the Sega Saturn as a kid and thinking it was so insanely realistic and there was no way that graphics could get any better.
Haha I remember thinking the same thing playing Virtua Fighter on the Sega Saturn back in the day.

Context: I’m pushing 40 and didn’t play video games between SNES and Switch.
I read “I’m pushing 40” and was like, “oh, I guess we have different sensibilities.” But then I remembered I’m pushing 40 myself.

Gain GroundUltima IV !!! Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.
I bet most people here don’t know any of the Ultima games.

Yep. C64 Ultima 4 was totally revolutionary. It introduced me to ethics which probably was why I ended up studying philosophy
