There a couple very specific eras of JRPGs that hold a very special place in my memory.

The Super Famicom era around games like Chrono Trigger is the peak for me though. I remember I got it as a gift totally by mistake, my parents had meant to buy another game but got possibly my favourite game of all time instead. I can still go back and play that game and it holds up just fine.

PS1 era Squaresoft was also pretty much a golden era for me, Xenogears was a pretty massive influence on some of my younger intellectual development.

The Jak and Daxter games.

Crash Bandicoot, Crusaders of Might and Magic, Advance Wars, N2O, Wrestling Games. Wish they would remaster Crash Bash with online multiplayer 😢.

For some reason its NBA street vol. 2, funny because i dont even like basketball. Chrono trigger too.

I feel mild nostalgia for a lot of games, but I've got a specific place for Starcraft.

See, I must've watched my brother play Brood War quite a lot, because I had 6 images imprinted in my mind: the in-game sprites and portraits of Zealots, Dragoons, and Dark Templar. I didn't really have the wherewithal to process that these imahes were from a game. It was probably a few years later, when I came across my brother playing it again. I spent an absurd amount of time on that game and the sequel.

Anyway. Hate the game now. I haven't got the energy to spend hours every day honing my reflexes for that ludicrous sack of shit engine. I only ever watch compilations of Artosis getting furious these days.
