(Saw this question asked on another popular link aggregation website and it got me thinking)

If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would you choose? This might be because you want to do it all again, or because you don't think you got enough out of it the first time. It could be experiencing the game exactly as you were back then, or experiencing a game with what you know now.

For me, it's Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, experienced exactly as I was back in 1991.

Nothing comes close to how jaw-droppingly amazed I was by that opening sequence. The epic orchestral score, the cinematic rainstorm, creeping around in the dark... it was a generational leap above anything I'd played on 8-bit computers and consoles, and even the Megadrive. I'd love to play it again without thirty plus years of Nintendo/Zelda knowledge, or without knowing about the dark world.

Oblivion. I liked Skyrim but Oblivion quests were so much better

I didn't like shutting down the gates which felt like the same thing over and over. But mostly it was awesome, especially the Grey Fox quests.

Its so dated now, but morrowind felt soo deeply built. The culture, the religions, the different political faction houses. How the empire influenced certain areas.

The quest were raw. No waypoints. Just go to lake and go north*. The morag tong(assassin guild for morrowind) had a basic questline. But it did feel different. The morag tong was sanctioned by the politicians. So you could murder someone in the middle of a city and just show a writ of execution.
