The Jak and Daxter series is still in my top 10

I'm not old. Lalalala. I can't hear you. But I'm not old, or anything.

GTA Vice City. I’m still playing it now on my iPhone. I love that game. San Andreas is pretty good too.

I just replayed VC all the way through on my phone a month ago, what a nostalgia kick

I got GTA Vice City in GTA San Andreas. Download it on my phone. I connect a PlayStation controller, and then I airplay it to my TV. It’s just like playing it originally, except the cheat codes don’t work! Lol.

State of emergency rocked

Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven was the shit growing up. I didn't have a PS2 myself but would regularly be over at a friend's house to play. I remember taking turns in the campaign and unlocking the secret level/secret character. Even as years went by and his PS2 got replaced by a PS3 we kept coming back to Tenchu, playing late night multiplayer sessions or doing co-op and trying to set up the various two-player combo stealth kills. Such good times.

Dbz, played it for hours with friends, still holds up imho.

Weird for some reason I thought it released closer to xmas. That might have just been when it started selling in NZ.

Found my copy of Wipeout 2097 and 3 over the weekend so might be an excuse to grab it out for old times sake.

My brother and I almost exclusively used our PS2 to play God of war or Gran Turismo.

Midnight club dub edition was also played to the point that the disk stopped working.

Kind of sounds like you missed a lot of amazing games.

I mean we played a ton of different games, but we also lived in the middle of nowhere and we were lucky to buy a new game once every 6 months. Those games got a lot of replays simply because we didn't have access to a big library of games. We would trade disks with kids at school occasionally, but for the most part we only had like 10-15 games for our PS2 at any given time. Had to sell games we didn't play much anymore to afford new ones. Such is the life of poor people living an hour away from the nearest game store at the time lol

Did you ever go to the library? You can "rent" games for free.

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

What makes you think we had a library that had a video game section if I said we lived in the middle of nowhere and an hour away from the nearest video game store?

I wouldn't be surprised if the closest library to our old house up there just figured out how to install windows XP on their systems.
