Any games you wish you grew up with? - eviltoast

So I assume many of us have played some games for the first time long after their release date. Like, maybe you didn’t have a specific console growing up so we didn’t play the “classics” on it, or something.

I’m just wondering how many of you have played an older game and thought “wow, I wish I grew up with this game”?

For example, for me, many years ago I played Super Metroid for the first time and fell in love with the idea of just wandering aimlessly around the game world, occasionally stumbling into new areas. I would have loved to have played it as a kid with childlike wonder without worrying about finishing the game or making progress.

    For me it’s anything TurboGrafx-16. I eventually bought one maybe 7 y wars ago but almost all of the games are ridiculously expensive, so I ended up selling it.

      I only remember that system having a cool looking racing game, and that game where the kid bonks stuff with his giant head.

      Those games were super expensive back in the day too!
