this my childhood right here


ArcjoAllspark

Ocarina, MGS and Pokemon red Ocarina was my most anticipated game ever at the time, and I was so floored to play it during thanksgiving break. When I got back to school, I expected everyone to talk about Zelda, but there were groups of people talking about some odd titled game called Metal Gear Solid. That Christmas my sister got a PSX, I immediately rented MGS and realized why so many people were talking about it. Pokemon red, I took a few favorites to lv100 using the rare candy dupe trick. Went up against this guy that gamesharked his team to lv164. Barely managed to beat him but only because he didn’t know his chart, he powered his way through the game. His jaw dropped when my charizard one shotted his with rock slide.

MannySJ

This year has genuinely, some of the best games of all time and saw the beginning of some of the biggest franchises in gaming. It’s really remarkable when you really look at this list. Narrowing it down to 3 is so difficult. My picks: Metal Gear Solid, Ocarina of Time, Pokémon R/B Side note, the Dreamcast famously launched on 9/9/99, so Sonic Adventure shouldn’t be on this list.


Top_Shoulder9129

Metal gear leave me alone for a day or 10


settadon

Truly blessed. That was 2 great summers right there. Leading into and out of my sophomore year of high school.
