#33 - Animal Crossing (GC)
As guessed by no-one (screw you guys!) Yeah, the original Animal Crossing was such a fun period of my life. I had genuinely never played anything like it before, I don't even know what made me buy it, I think I was sold by the intrigue and the box art. Such a warm, fuzzy and enjoyable game. Mingling with villagers, digging for treasure, combing the beaches and just everything about this game is so relaxing. I still love to return from time to time to see my old village in an eternal state of rest apart from Mr Resetti :P. Sequels improved upon the basic features but none of them come close to capturing the original's magic.
Clue for my #32 - Sequel to a platform game which became a platform for games.
