Tagged games:

Hands down its Super Mario 64 for me.  I would buy every gaming magazine that existed at the the time just to get the next tidbit of information on it. The wait was excruciating! I would walk 3 miles down to the local Blockbuster every chance I got to wait in line to play for a few minutes.  One of the few games where the hype was actually overshadowed by the finished product. I remember thinking that the future had finally arrived and the sky was the limit.  What game set you off?



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

My 8th gen collection

Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II were really magic for me when I first played them, I loved to travel through some of my favorite Disney movies and I still think they're magic.

Edit: Also, Ocarina of Time, it really impressed me when I first played it, traveling through the Lost Woods for the first time was one of the most magic experiences I ever had in a game (loved the music a lot) and then the amazing dungeon design impressed me a lot.



Tales Of Vesperia. I think it was my first 360 game.

Honestly I cannot explain what an experience this game was for me. First off Yuri is such an awesome protagonist. Like how could you not like him? Story was pretty damn great. The characters were great (except for karol). The amount of side quest are neat. The world was beautiful. I could go on...

Ni no Kuni and Final Fantasy 12 were quite the experience as well.
