is there anything from your childhood that actually lives up to your memory

>>935815744 (OP)
So much, from videogames to cartoons to dead stores

I was rewatching old Pokemon, and I was shocked how funny it is at times, I haven't seen it in 25 years or whatever

LAN Parties where you need to bring your own PC

readily available highspeed internet access at home killed LAN parties

is that pic from a game?

Meh, people forget how nerds in groups are such big assholes, I went to a couple LAN parties and that was enough for me

Sex was better than I thought it would be.

The fucking part feels good or really good depending on your skill and how much you don’t give a fuck but it’s the other intimate stuff that comes with it that takes it to the next level, and if you’re really into the girl then it’s like 10x better

Virgins, clean yourselves up, get more social, and go sleep with even some average girl you like. It’s worth it

>>935817236
You had shit friends then.

My buddies were nerds that looked like either average dudes or even a few chads. Good mix and fucking awesome lan parties and drinking

>>935817302
that could be, but I felt that way about multiple groups, idk I never really fit in anyway

from then up until today, still the goat

Maniac Mansion on the NES.

even average sex is better than the best solo nut
having another person with funny grabby bits is awesome.

>>935817880
god this game has amazing atmosphere
first time i played it i was 9. theres a really creepy segment in what looks like a facility, maybe it was a crashed ship. i had to stop playing for a bit i got so scared lol. it was TOO CREEPY.

>>935817302
Lan party I went to in the mid 90s was guys driving Porsches and heavy coke addictions. It was great. Bit of shagging going on too with random birds that'd end up coming to watch.

>>935815744 (OP)
Literally everything.

Used to play the 1st demo at school, still on newgrounds but the full version of the sequel is available on archive. Just found it the other day.

Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun

>>935816933
You sound like a faggot and a nigger, niggerfaggot. You wouldn't be welcome at the LAN party anyway

>>935817199
The death of locally hosted multiplayer games played as big a role. We still held LAN parties up until around 2016

>>935816888
there are attractive women recording 3 hour+ videos of playing games like chrono trigger now

the market has gotten incredibly saturated

i remember being in a really nice neighborhood in the suburbs as a kid

>>935838796
No doubt it was a bit clunky. It was just always one of my favorite games so it gets a pass for me.

It was a better experience on PC for sure but man that NES soundtrack was fire.

Agreed with Monkey Island.

What is this turd doing in your buffet of classics?

Pic related but also Heroes of Might and Magic 2

>>935816888

First thing I thought of. I replayed it for the first time in a decade or two last year. Doubts in my mind, that it wouldn't live up to the memory. I instead found it was actually even better than I remembered.

Also about a week or two ago I replayed the original Legend of Zelda for the first time in probably closer to three decades. I didn't own it as a kid, only rented or borrowed. Not even 100% sure I beat it completely, maybe just loaded up someone else's late-game save file to do the last dungeon. But replayed it now totally blind, no guides of any kind, and found it very much held up, which not all old NES games do, some of them being just a bit too basic.

>>935842277
It's underrated kino, script may be kinda shit but the tone, cinematography, dinosaurs and Spielberg's involvement make it good

>>935838412
i couldn't get past the non linear gameplay, didn't know what to do, where to go. kept getting captured and put in the basement. gave up. innovative, but mystifying to me. day of the tentacle was a huge improvement

>>935838702
Hit and run's jokes land so we'll because actually writers from the Simpsons when it was still good helped.

>>935843250
The tone was fragmented, the characters unlikable, the cinematography weak in comparison to the original. The music was almost as good as the original, that's the best thing I can say about it.
Has it been decades since you saw it? I can imagine a 12-year-old seeing it and thinking it was great and then never changing that opinion, but no, it's not underrated. It's accurately rated low.

>>935826460
I'm more a fan of SMZ3, map rando has always been a bit too technical for my taste.

>>935831546
fair point i suppose, for our choice of games LANs were for tournaments and big finals since everybody was on an equal playingfield that way, but once everybody had 100+ mbits at home there was no more need for that and the whole scene fizzled out

>>935845689
there was one day when I was in kindergarden.

porn was a currency, LAN gold. you could change LAN gold for software
