Little Big Planet (2008)

The first online cooperative platformer I ever played. This was a revolutionary game for me and I cherish it deeply.

I bought LBP during the summer of 2008, on the cusp of the end of my innocent years. I remember setting up an inflatable mattress in our childhood homes basement, and consuming every last morsel of this game on a CRT with sporadic drop in help from my sister and friends. I loved the blank canvas that was so perfectly represented by Sackboy and the seemingly limitless combinations of outfits. The individualistic expression of it all was like mainlining mountain dew for my pre-drug exposed 13 year old brain. The crafted art style of the world was extremely original to me as well. I cant recall any other games in the same vein omitting Kirbys Epic Yarn which was 2 years later and Yoshis Crafted World which was 11. Id customize my character in unison with his pod while blasting period bops like Viva la Vida by Coldplay and A Milli by Lil Wayne. You could say times were simple. I miss simple.

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (1998)

This game always reminds me of going to my grandparents house as a kid. They smoked, drank scotch, had lots of chocolate macaroons, and my gram played N64.

She had all the classics that formed the core of my interest for gaming at a young age. Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, even Conkers Bad fur day (which I played at like 7 years old, strong parenting). My grandma was a completionist aswell, completing every game further than her single digit grand kids.

My grandparents on that side are long gone now. Breath of the Wild made me wish I could have a drink with them, Mario Odyssey made me wish we could play cards and have a smoke. Nevertheless, both will live on through my love of scotch and Nintendo.

Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons (2001)

I have extremely fond memories of this game. Somehow I can still recall it quite clearly despite having a mere existence of only 6 years at the time.

I remember that mesmerizing sprite art beautifully encapsulated in the intro. I remember seeing the different ridable animal companions in the manual (Man I miss those). Being obsessed with dinosaurs at the time, i thought, 𝘋𝘶𝘩, I have to have Dimitri. I got Ricky the kangaroo on first play through. I remember Link and Din dancing by the caravans as chip tunes play through tinny speakers engulfed by an Atomic Purple Gameboy Colour. I remember those classic GameFaq walkthroughs with their intuitive text created and often expertly executed title logos. I remember trying to play on the now infamous,and almost cliche to mention, non-backlit screen during family trips in the car.

I find myself reflecting on the past often these days. I remember a lot.
