Any games you wish you grew up with? (pawb.social)

So I assume many of us have played some games for the first time long after their release date. Like, maybe you didn't have a specific console growing up so we didn't play the "classics" on it, or something.

I'm just wondering how many of you have played an older game and thought "wow, I wish I grew up with this game"?

For example, for me, many years ago I played Super Metroid for the first time and fell in love with the idea of just wandering aimlessly around the game world, occasionally stumbling into new areas. I would have loved to have played it as a kid with childlike wonder without worrying about finishing the game or making progress.

Tons of them!

I was a child when we had something like the gaming industry established already so there were already some true gems out there, but as a child I grew up playing child games, also started with the PS1, my first game was Grand Turismo, and yeah 6 years old me did not like it, also DBZ Ultimate Battle 22, this one was my jam, until many many years later I realized it sucked lol, but what can I tell, I played some shovelwhere and Disney games, although I think they were fine, I never played big titles like MGS or FF VII for example, and my favorite game from the PSX that I replay even today is Toy Story 2, no regrets.
