The music for nighttime in Ul'dah is still one of the most comforting things to me. I put this on a lot.

I miss XIV.

I love the .hack desktop menu.

 

[falconhoof]

Watching this as the game loaded just filled me with excitement that I was about to enter a magical realm of mystery and adventure.

And just the clunk from the Quake2 menu when you change entries.

C64

Amiga

PC

Although I'd owned computers before the C64 in the ZX81 and Dragon32, the C64 has always held a special place for me.

I own 5 of them that I've repaired. I also have about 8 1541 drives.

So much so that I've even bought the new one from Perifractic.

Onto the games though.. My two personal favourites were boulderdash and it's many sequels and variants including the construction kit. I was playing this just yesterday on my Rog xbox ally x via batocera.

Raid over Moscow was a fun little arcade shooter split into 3 parts. Get your ship out of the station mini game. Sideways shooter then for the final bit launch bazookas at the Kremlin.

Turrican Ii on the Amiga was the quintessential shooter. That incredible title screen music... The gameplay... and all packed into one 880k floppy

Moving onto PC the half life opening sequence was something special that had not been seen before.
But half life 2 ... That intro makes the hairs on my arms stand up thinking about it.. so whenever I see that title screen it falls back to "oh my god. What an experience". So many firsts. Big semi open world you have to drive through.... Gravity gun.... Head crabs.

Minecraft - I drop out of it for ages.... Then it's let's just create a new world... Which turns into Several days later.

It's also a game I played with my kids and occasionally still do even now they're adults. Timeless game

Halo

While I don't have a contribution, just looking at some of these screenshots really hits the spot if nostalgia is what you are looking for today! Great submissions so far.

I can still hear the music to this day.

Came to post exactly this.

Nothing will ever beat this. Everyone who was there knows it, and if you weren't there you better believe that you never experienced anything like it. You think there is a game for your generation that was even close to this but trust me, there wasn't. This was by far the best game ever created and while it isn't now, nothing since has come close to being the same. This was a game that made the entire video game industry obsolete for everyone playing it. If you played this, you didnt even care if other games existed, you weren't gonna play them anyway.
