Some games are just so great with such great stories that they create wonderful memories of playing the games. Other games on the other hand you may have played at certain times or during a certain moment and because of that the game brings back memories.
Either way, which games bring back the best memories for you? And if you link the game with a certain event, what do they make you think of when you play them?
For me, there's a ton but I'll name off the top 10:
Final Fantasy 7: The story just made me feel so involved, every moment and song in that game I'll always remember.
Final Fantasy 8: I started playing it around the time I started High School and since the characters are in High School in the game, I always connect the 2.
Shenmue: Great story, another one where the game just sucks you in and you completely forget about real life. This game always makes me think of Fall time since that's when I played it and that's the season the game takes place.
Final Fantasy Legends: Oddly enough, this game I always played when I'd walk my sister to swimming lessons, I'd lay out a blanket along side a tree and play this.
Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past: The game is a great game and any time I see screenshots or listen to it's music, it makes me remember being obsessed with this as a kid.
Pokemon Blue: Another one that brings back some great child hood memories of being obsessed with Pokemon.
Thunder & Lightning AND T&C Thrilla's Safari: For some reason for both of these 2 games many years ago I started to notice that I would play them every summer so now for the past 10+ years, I've made it a habit of playing them each of these 2 games at least once every summer. It's a tradition and it doesn't feel like summer until I've played these 2 games lol.
Super Mario Bros: Probably the very first game I played and sometimes when I play it, it makes me remember being very young, I think some of my earliest memories involve Super Mario Bros (and Metroid and Bubble Bobble). The first time I beat this game I was literally still wearing diapers, my mom still has pictures lol.
Friday the 13th: This one scared the heck out of me when I was younger! When Jason appeared I would be completely freaked out lol. Of course, I was very young.
I've got so many more, I'll post more as I think of them. You gotta figure, I was obessed with video games when I was younger and started playing them when I was 2. My Dad was a video game collector so I literally played 100s of video games throughout my life.
