    Opening tune for Pac-Man & the intro to the orignal Zelda where the title of the game scrolls up.

    Pretty much any Mario game from Super Mario World and older. The original NES Zelda, and SNES A Link to the Past, NES Metroid/Super Metroid. Those few games seriously bring me back to childhood. Then in my teens the big ones were Resident Evil, Donkey Kong 64, and, oddly enough, Tenchu.

    Megaman 1-3, without a doubt. These were the foundation of my childhood gaming and learning how to play a platform game. I still have no idea how I beat them at such a young age...I'm very confused by that since they still give me trouble today :lol 

    But yeah, every time I play those again it's like a nostalgic trip back to childhood.

    For some reason, it still is with me too. I had never known that rice balls could be so effective in life before. Tenchu taught me otherwise :) 

    Oh man, forgot to mention Rygar on nes too. So much music from that game engraved into my brain. I played it again last summer so I could remember just how rough of a game it was. So epic though.

    Lego Racers 2, and, to a lesser extent, Bionicle: The Game. I grew up on those, and to this day thinking about them gives me intense feels.

    Probably metroid prime! Listening to the "Harmony of a hunter" (if your a metroid fan download it, it's free!) makes me remember the whole game from when I first yard it about 6 years ago :)

    Sonic 2 wasn't the first game I played but it was probably my favorite Christmas present I may have ever received. So, that, along with Final Fantasy 2 and 3(6), Secret of Mana, Super Mario World, and as much as I hate to say it, even Playstation and N64 games are starting to feel nostalgic for me. The Playstation's statup sound even makes me a little nostalgic.

    Yeah, all of these games almost instantly bring me back to being a kid/teen.

    Sonic the hedgehog and Pokemon red/blue

    I remember playing Lego Racers 1 and 2, those games were the best thing ever when I was a kid. I also played lego rock raiders

    None, I really can't get sentimental about old video games. All the broken controllers considered.

    The Wind Waker. My best friend and I used to alternate playing the game - he'd play for 30 or so minutes, and then I'd play for thirty or so minutes. Since he and I were kids at the time, I always thought of him as being like Wind Waker Link - not so much look-wise, but attitude wise.
