We all have that one game that holds a special place in our hearts. What game is it for you?
For me, it’s Metal Slug. Growing up, every Monday, my parents would drag me to the laundromat after work. As a kid, it was a pretty boring, but I had my toys, origami books, and coloring books to keep me entertained. However, my favorite thing to do was playing the Metal Slug arcade machine with my dad.
My dad was great at the game, and he taught me how to play. Though I improved, I could never keep up. When I’d inevitably die, he’d let me take over his side to let me have a bit more playtime. My favorite part was when he’d share stories from when he lived in another country and would go to the local arcade.
Those moments are cherished memories, and even today, whenever I visit an arcade, Metal Slug is the first game I play, despite still being terrible at it haha
Honorable mention goes to Mario 64, another game that holds a special place in my heart. I got an N64 from a garage sale, and playing Mario 64 while at home, with my mom’s “chore” music in the background ignited my love for gaming
There have been so many great games but I don’t think I’ve had as much fun in video games than I did in Minecraft or Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
BC2 was so damn good holy shit. My guys have war stories from that game lol
Sadly the BF series hasn’t been the same since.
I still remember my first Minecraft worlds. I first played it on my iPod, then on my PC a couple years later.
I fell in love with the game twice. I think that it is my most played game of all time.
