by madbootsy

These are games that, for some reason. always remind me of a certain moment/time/person/event/whatever in my life. Good or bad. GO!

Dark Earth

1. Dark Earth

Alright, NOBODY knows about this game except for me and my brother. It's certainly not a bad game either. I always associate Christmas time with beating this game (first and only time so far), Drew Carey Show/Just Shoot Me re-runs and Clue... The Movie. Too strange.

Counter-Strike: Source

2. Counter-Strike: Source

All those times I faked sick during high school... always think about CS: Source. Or anytime I got home from school. Yep. Played a loooot of CS:S during high school.

Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom

3. Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom

Right after I beat Wing Commander 3 for the first time towards the end of... say... 2004? Maybe 2005. Time. Anyways, right after I beat that game, I immediately went onto Ebay and bought myself a PC copy of WC4. Aaaand finally beat it the week/ night of New Year's Eve. So now I associate New Year's Eve with Mark Hamill and Malcolm McDowell. Could be worse.

R4 Ridge Racer Type 4

4. R4 Ridge Racer Type 4

I played this game for like... 8 hours one night. Non-stop. No joke. And that was it. Fun game.

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

5. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

First MATURE (OH MAN) game that I bought after I turned 17. Still haven't beaten it. Hm.

Indigo Prophecy

6. Indigo Prophecy

The perfect game to associate with strange transitional times and being snowed in at your house. When you live in Colorado during the winter time (or even Spring), you'll understand what that really means.

Baldur's Gate

7. Baldur's Gate

The game that me and my brother played CONSTANTLY during our early summer breaks. Oh Minsc.

Star Wars: Rebel Assault

8. Star Wars: Rebel Assault

When I finally got my own computer (A hand me down Pentium 75 from my parents, it was a big square box of a computer...), this was the game I played quite a bit of on it. That and...

Dungeon Keeper

9. Dungeon Keeper

This.

The Warriors

10. The Warriors

When I think of my best friend and all the games we've played together over the years, this one sticks out the most to me. Played sooo much Warriors with him. RIFFS!
