lol whatever kid

Sooo coooooool.

No but seriously, you're probably like 13. Shush.

nostalgia is a long period ago, like 20 years, stop saying you have nostalgia, it wasn't even like 5, 6 years ago. lol, you act like its such a long time ago.

nos·tal·gi·a  (n-stlj, n-)
n.
1.  A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past.

2.  The condition of being homesick; homesickness.

You basically disproved your own fake definition you set. Nowhere in the actual definition you posted does it state that nostalgia has to occur over a long period, nor does it give a number, like the 20 years you brought up. If you're going to get all angry about "nostalgia", at least get smart about it. Geez, step up your game.

Except the problem is, in no definition of the word "nostalgia" is there a set time frame that has to pass before anything can be considered nostalgic. It's purely ambiguous.

Nostalgic games for me would definitely be:
MK64
007 Goldeneye
SSB
SSBM
Pokémon Ruby
Super Mario Brothers 1 and 3
Blades of Steel
Double Dragon II
Darkwing Duck
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 through 3
Adventure Island 2

Star Wars Battlefront 2

Descent I
Age of Empires I
Grand Prix Circuit - made by Accolade
LHX Attack Chopper - made by EA games
Ignition by virgin interactive or something...

I have a load of others, had a quick go at them again as I was posting, don't know if they count as "nostalgic" considering I still have access to them, but I certainly remember the times when I would play them as a kid.

Sure, they were already old as hell and in the past when I first played them, but I grew up with these games, and so did my dad (or atleast when he was in University, that's how I came about to having them)

If anyone wants these PM me

Also Descent I Multiplayer still exists thanks to a mod that overhauls the game with modern internet protocols (since IPX or whatever it was that original Descent used for communication is dead) and OpenGL support, which allows modern computer compatibility, so we could have like a Blockland forums Descent server if that interests anyone...

[LeetZero]

My top 3.

[Talent74]

i would have listed more games but i'd rather not flood the thread with them

[Night Fox]

lol okay

[Skull Candy]

image dump or something like that

[Acerblock]

I wasn't into that many games when I was younger.

I have never played 90 percent of these games... 13 year old problems.
