What game holds a special place in your heart? (lemmy.ml)

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

Baldur's Gate 1. It was my childhood game, i played it when i was 12 years old and it was amazing and very hard. I haven't progressed beyond the first chapter with the kobold's mine and Boo's quest but i enjoyed replaying it every summer, at the beggining.

And i finished it once for all when i was a student. The game was amazing. Time pause, speech, character creation...

And the second is the mmo Dofus, very cool turn based strategy game. :)

Never finished bg1 or 2 but enjoyed them both in my youth so I figured I'd hammer through them - beamdog had them on sale for $5 recently. This way I can justify buying bg3 lol.

Finish them you won't regret it :) i never played bg2 but it was an amazing adventure. Bg3 is different and more deepth with relationship, it does look like DO2. :)
