Any games you wish you grew up with? (pawb.social)

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.

I was fortunate to own Crystalis when I was young, but didn't actually beat it until I was a teenager. The GBC port was supposedly bad. Never played it. But the NES game is criminally not well known.

That's awesome! I've only ever heard of Crystalis in the context of games that flew under the radar, I don't think many people can say they actually owned it. Too bad the GBC port isn't great.
