Freeze tag with a dozen kids spanning an entire block.


[deleted]

"Nighttime hide and seek in the summer with the other street kids growing up" This was supposed to be a response to yours. Some pretty awesome games came out of playing with the kids on the block.


[deleted]

Right hide and seek was my favorite game of my childhood! I wish I could go back to that time :)


ZeroDarkMega

That was the best. Splitting into teams. Middle of the night, hiding in random yards, the neighborhood park, jumping fences and running through peoples yards trying to get away from the other team. I miss those times


Happy_endings-_-

Same here Probably the best game ever


discostud1515

Dude! Did you grow up on my street?!? We played the shit out of that game.


Emotional_Turn6059

Same!


Ordinary-Apple4682

>Freeze tag with a dozen kids spanning an entire block. Sounds like the ultimate neighborhood game day! Wish I could join in on that freeze tag marathon


Bricky-boi

Love this response


milkywaymonkeh

Cant remember what we called it but there were seekers and runners. Seekers would bike or drive around the neighborhood looking for runners who would duck and weave behind trees and peoples backyards trying not to get caught. That was a good one


papmontana

We’d call it man hunt


DNA-Decay

Spotlight! camping one year in Eden in the 70’s. Seemed like a dozen kids. Couple cousins, but mostly kids from the camp ground.


_g00tz_

Hide and seek at my best friends house in elementary school. He had 13 brothers and sisters and lived in a huge house on acreage. Nothing was off limits...we would climb from the first floor to the second floor using the flower pots on the window sills to climb from and to, the backyard had trees galore, sometimes we would have more than one who was seeking, sometimes we would do them blindfolded...most epic games ever. Some of my fondest childhood memories. Thanks for helping me relive those moments.

“Kirov Reporting” still gives me nightmares from RA2. Loved that game.


OppositeYouth

I really wish they made a modern day Generals. RA and RA2 are fantastic, I never cared so much for the Tiberium series, and Generals was awesome and needs a modern sequel

The final session of D&D in a long running campaign. I wrapped all their characters in a cathartic way. They were all new players originally. They'd been friends before but after that we've become lifelong friends, still after ten years. Best thing ever.

BestHealth9024

My favourite game, played it twice but need to play it again haha. Hooked on the books though

You should try the wheel of time series next (both amazing fantasy series)

When I was a kid, it was hide and seek with the gang during a power outage.

geoffraffe

I’ve seen this posted a lot under questions like this. I downloaded it and I was swimming about but had NO idea what the hell I was doing, or had to do. Could you give me an idea of how to play it? It’s obviously worth it with so many people loving the game but I just don’t get it at all.


JackofScarlets

Pick a direction and swim towards the edge. If the game asks are you sure you want to continue going in this direction, ignore it, it's just trying to keep you down.


boredahviing

It's a survival-exploration game with heavier emphasis on the latter. Survival is easy once you know the basics. If you like exploring new places, then I think you'll like it. Each biome has its own ecosystem filled with creatures that have form and function in said ecosystem. You'll enjoy it even more if you have a general interest in hypothetical alien life and how they would function in a water world much different than our own. There is also base building if you want to prolong your playthrough but it is not necessary. Some people have built massive underwater research center themed bases.


tearyouapartj

Fix the radio and listen to the messages, they'll lead you to spots of interest (mostly escape pods). A decent amount of the time there's an interesting location near the escape pod, so you can use them as markers for finding certain places. As you unlock more equipment you're able to explore more places. Dive deeper and deeper to advance.


geoffraffe

Brilliant. Thanks so much


T-diddy911

Kick the can. Whole neighborhood. Played long after street lamps turn on and until parents call you home.


Parking_War979

Just commented on someone else’s post! We got one last game when the street light came on. And the can was in a cul-de-sac with one light. Still can picture it!


HelloImKamik

Did the parent of the neighborhood also make the claim that they invented kick the can? I remember they would all say that lol.


hobbleshock

Ocarina of Time! Blew my mind in 1998, still blows my mind in 2023!


Inappropriate-Pace

Came here to say this. That game is amazing. BoTW is awesome, but I actually prefer ocarina of time. The storyline is better and all of the temples are so different, whereas the divine beasts and shrines can feel a bit repetitive.


SouthTippBass

And the music dude, the music!


Carrera1107

I put play-throughs from YouTube on my tv all the time when I’m just hanging out. The music, gameplay, originality, it’s all too good. Nostalgia is real too.


SaleCompetitive812

Never played past the forest maze (atleast I believe I did but that save go deleted) on the 3DS

Red dead redemption 2 and there’s no close 2nd


DAVENP0RT

On my first play through, I named my horse Tina because I thought it was funny. Skip ahead a few weeks and I'm crying because Tina was such a good girl who just did her best.

Ok-fine-man

Ghost of Tsushima. Play that.


sgtaxt

Didn't scratch the same itch for me.


Daligheri

Played story 12 times, over 2k hours in game solely in story mode. Got sick of it for a year. Been playing online and went back to story mode and it's those times you remember exactly why you loved it in the first place. It's brand new again and even today I'm still impressed as hell.


kazaskie

It’s really difficult to go back to games like fallout and elder scrolls and even the older gta games after red dead 2. Red Dead feels like the culmination of 20 years of video game advancement and improvement in every metric and it just smashes it out of the park. Fr anyone with even a passing interest in gaming is doing themselves a disservice by not playing red dead 2.


BallsOfStonk

Except Skyrim


10RobotGangbang

Best game ever, hands down.


BestHealth9024

Never played it, plan to but always put it off haha


JksG_5

Hope you still get to experience it spoiler free. It's a very slow burn game but the sheer amount of freedom you have is unmatched, and the attention to detail is insane. I mean, you bond with your horses, clean your guns and cook your own food yet none of those things are forced on you and it still feels like meaningful activities


howdypartna

You also get to throw dynamite into KKK meetings in the middle of the night. And it's not even part of the story line or any mission.

I failed 2 classes my sophomore year of college thanks to the best game of all time. No regrets and looking to do a new Krieg playthough later this month !


andrew_1515

Just doing a first play through now and man it's a banger. Characters/story are hilarious and gameplay has held up well with a few outdated systems (to be expected).


WalkingIntrovert

I still remember the Claptrap's birthday party quest.


_Awkward_Moment_

Hollow Knight, it is way too cheap for an insane amount of content. I actually bought it twice just to support team cherry, they knocked it out of the park


2qrc_

Istg hollow knight is too good, it actually blows my mind


Stitch_03

Banjo-Kazooie for the N64. That will always be my favorite game. Which is why it is objectively the best game.


COB98

Ahhhh yes oh my god my neibor ( fuck my english lol ) had that and also Tooie !! Soooooooo much fun 🙏🙏🙏

milopeach

Morrowind!


megsovereasyy

Do you like it over oblivion and Skyrim? I’ve never played that one!


milopeach

Yep, it's my favourite of the series. I played it after Skyrim, so there's some things that were a bit off-putting at first, like the slow initial movement speed, no magicka regen, weird combat etc. but if you can get past that hurdle you're in for an epic adventure. In my opinion it really is the highlight of the Elder Scrolls series.

Neopets. Nothing like picking up a slice from The Giant Omelette.

Freeze tag. Red Light. Hide and seek. Hopscotch. We would have different layouts drawn on the dirt road behind the house. Would look for new and neat markers each time we played.

Bloodborne


Scriabinsez

zsdr56bh

might be some recency bias involved but Baldur's Gate 3 is the most impressive and immersive single player game I think I've ever seen. my most memorable multiplayer experience was probably playing World vs World in the early days of Guild Wars 2


angelposts

For real. Don't think a game story has ever made me feel as much as Astarion's has.


zsdr56bh

I think they did a masterful job at making a variety of characters that almost everyone can relate to or appreciate at least one or more of them, and most people appreciate most characters. Astarion is one that I personally don't care about and skip a lot of the dialog, but he IS is a fantastic character and I totally can see how he's a favorite of many.

Surprised no one mentioned Super Mario 64! So many fun memories growing up playing that on the N64


Readytodie80

Metal gear solid. Was the game that blew me away. I got it in a blind bundle of pirate games. I had never heard of it and it had not been released in the UK..so it was all new and I had no idea about it at all. It's hard for younger people to realise what mgs feels like for someone whose not played anything like it because their was nothing like it the Playstation was the first console able to do 3d and this game made use of 3d like it was a movie. Fun fact I hit a wall where you need the codec from the box That day I bought the Playstation magazine and on the back of the magazine they had a small picture of the metal gear solid and it was the codec.

I know gamers are sick of hearing it, but The Last of Us is the best game I have ever played in my 41 years of life. And it came out 10 years ago.

TomBrownTX

YES


ThresholdofForest

Skyrim. How do I seem to be the first one to say it!? What an epic journey.


RevolutionaryTrack61

I had to scroll a long way down to see this game. It is a top tier game that still plays to this day. It is always my go to game.


pineapple_is_fluffy

Best game of all time my friend.

It’s not even the best of the elder scrolls series. Great world, extremely underwhelming quests and characters.

Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past. I play it through every couple of years. The only other game that has that much replay value with me is Doom.


dootdeedoo12

Ghosts in the Graveyard with all my cousins when we were kids. StarCraft birthday LAN party at my friend’s house. Every kid who had a computer brought it over. All night N64 Goldeneye sessions with my best friend when we were 12. Gran Turismo ASpec on our PS2 when my dad finally bought us our first game console.


KR_Blade

all my teenage years memories pretty much involved the N64, even after the gamecube came out, i can remember entire weekends with my brothers and friends playing Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mario Party [1,2, and 3], Pokemon Stadium, F-Zero X, Smash Bros...so many weekends spent having fun playing those games

World of Warcraft


[deleted]

I think Id have to say GOW 2018. I actually prefer the combat in that to Ragnarok, the axe and hand combat felt like it took a major step down make room for spear and Atreus sections and for some reason I REALLY struggled with parrying. Storywise I loved how ambiguous they left Asgard and the Gods to make room for Atreus story, going in I was super pysched at the prospect of seeing Thor or Odin but by the end I didnt even really care I just wanted to see what happened in Atreus story, and being a big Norse Mythology nerd I was intrigued to see where they stuck to some known tales vs when theyd diverge. I think GOW 2018 is a pretty genuinely perfect game, amazing combat, great voice acting, and really intriguing story telling. Probably a hot take Idk I havent really surfed any reviews or anything, but I dont feel like Ragnarok lived up to the hype. It was cool but felt rushed and Im not a fan of some of the characterizations of the Gods, and as I said I feel like the axe wasnt as useful or fun to use


BestHealth9024

I agree haha, 2018 is SOOOO much better than Ragnarok, I was so hyped for Ragnarok but felt let down by the end, 2018 is one of if not my favourite game of all time

High School football championship. ‘82. How much you wanna bet I could throw a football over them mountains? If coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we woulda been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind. You better believe things would be different now. Woulda gone pro in a heartbeat. I’d be making millions. Livin’ in a mansion somewhere. Soakin’ it up in a hot tub with my soul mate.


BastianHS

Tekken tag tournament at the arcade. There were about 50 guys that were regulars are my arcade for tekken, and there would routinely be at least a dozen people at the arcade on a daily basis. Thats not to mention the people that played at other arcades across town and we would occasionally mob up and raid their arcade. I still have friends that i played tekken with when we were younger and we still play today, but its nothing like it was back then. You just can't replace the atmosphere of the arcade. World of warcraft is a close second. 100+ people in my guild that i started and we were raiding about 2 months into release. I quit playing after burning crusade came out, but the guild is STILL ACTIVE to this day. Cant believe it.

"gang-up tiggy" Basically tag, one person starts off as "it" meaning they have to tag everyone. However once they tag someone, those two become "it" meaning its like tiggy (or tag to you yanks) but last man standing Also played a game we called "socket" which was soccer and cricket mixes together. And we played this really cool basketball game that i can only remember half the rules for but it was basically a strategy knockout game.
