Childhood Games/Series That Interested Me but Never Played
Description
Heard of some games and/or series as a kid that passively interested me, but never got to play. If series, I'll put the first game on the stack. This will probably get updated as I remember more youth curiosities.
Ape Escape
(Series) I had a couple friends who liked this series but I never played it.
Super Monkey Ball
(Series) As a youth I didn't care as much about this as Sonic, but the older I got the more things changed.
Acquired on 6/28/2022 - Banana Mania, anyway. I played it and while I can appreciate it, in the long run it's definitely not for me.
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
(Game) I own it on Steam, but as a kid this always fascinated me along with Egyptian stuff in general.
Completed on 11/10/2021. 1st on the list.
Star Ocean: First Departure
(Series) The PSP had a lot of great RPGs/remakes on it, Star Ocean is just one I could not find quick enough.
Dark Cloud
(Game) This one fascinated me the older I got, but at that point it was too late.
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
(Series) The series as a whole gelled with me as I was introduced to Bejeweled as a youth. I do own the first game on Steam, haven't really played yet.
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
(Game/Series Kinda) Looked like an interesting platformer series, but I didn't care much for Playstation/Platformers as much as a youth until I got older.
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
(Game) This was one of my dad's favorite games of all time, but he never let me play it and I can't find the disc.
I own the second game on Steam and have started it.
PaRappa the Rapper
(Game) Katamari Damacy was my fever dream as a kid and I got to play through that. This... might be a close second.
Lunar: Silver Star Harmony
(Series) Another PSP RPG series I was curious about but never picked up, apparently the PS1 physical release had a lot of cool packed in content.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (2005)
(Game) This one piqued my interest when I was getting more into RPGs. I could go for the 3DS or PS2 version honestly.
I have a 3DS version I can play.
