I have the fondest memories of this game. My grandparents had a snes in the basement for the grandkids and we would always play this.

Reddit comment by /u/mr_plopsy:

I'll always remember Super Mario Kart, because it was one of the few games that my parents bought for us for no real reason. It wasn't for a birthday or Christmas or anything, they just tossed it to us out of the blue, which is clearly the random act of kindness that a kid remembers decades later. It was also one of the last games I remember my brother being really into before he lost interest in video games. We did donuts on the infield of Mario Circuit for hours.

Dark Souls comment by Meltwithyou:

Not an MMO but wayyy back when Dark Souls came out, I was slowly working my way through my first play through, I was sooo very close to the next camp fire and someone popped into my game…I was like f***cckkk. As I was mentally prepping for an ambush, I slowly creeped around a corner and there he/she (?) was, standing there in the middle of the path, completely decked out in high end gear (way better than mine at least), I thought to my self ‘this is it, an hour or two wasted, I’m going to get my ass kicked’ so I just stood there, staring, they stood there, staring back…like a samurai showdown.
After 20-30 seconds, they waved at me. Surprised, I waved back. Then we started emoting back and fourth to each other for a minute or two, I was laughing my ass off…then they bowed and gave me a set of high end armor, waved, then vanished.
It was really cool, I kept that armor in my inventory, planning on paying it forward…but ive never been the type to invade someones game so that set is still sitting in my inventory, still to this day.

Illusion of Gaia Reddit Post by /u/ElementCuatro:

When I was a kid, my family wasn't the most well off in the world, but my parents both worked their asses off to make sure my sister and I had happy childhoods. I got my SNES near the end of it's lifespan, and with it, a little game called "Illusion of Gaia". Before I played this game, I had no idea that video games could have stories beyond "Go from left to right, and save the princess". But this game, while it had a few translation errors that created plotholes, blew my 10 year old mind. It had everything I had seen in the movies and read in books: Action, adventure, relatable characters, a story that I wanted to see to it's end, young romance, etc. Hell, this was the first video game that legit made me cry, and that was when Hamlet, the sweet little pig died.
This is the game. This is when I truly became a gamer, and could appreciate the medium as an art form. Hell, this was the first game I ever streamed on Twitch, and put up on YouTube. If you want to watch it, I'll link to it, but, honestly, I think you should play it yourself. If you're a fan of SNES RPGs, then it's an experience that you don't want to rob yourself of. It's truly meant to be played, not watched.
