Comfort Games Options

[Saffy]

What games do you love to pick up time and time again? You know, those games that give you that warm feeling whenever you play and you always enjoy the experience? :)

For me there's Earthbound and Lunar that first come to mind. Both RPGs, but I just absolutely enjoy every bit of playing them. There's certain charm and feel that is absolute bliss. In Earthbound, the game starts with Onett and Twoson, both of which I heavily explored as a kid when I never understood what an RPG was. Lunar was the the main RPG series I really got into and I personally like to credit it for drawing me into game development. Though I've beaten Lunar twice already and its sequel once, I still desperately want to get around to playing them again. The beautiful sprite work, the story, just all of it comes together so nicely. There's some other games I'd love to play again, but at the moment I'm heavily into playing Earthbound again.

I guess comfort games play a lot on nostalgia. You can just forget everything else and enjoy the moment.

Well, Harvest Moon Back to Nature. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) It's one of the things I thank my brother for. Since he was the one that picked it up at the store. And I was the one that got hooked to it. >3> Although, there's a certain discomfort when I play. My old file f my first Harvest Moon game was deleted from a friend by accident..... ;__;

But I also love to go back and play Paper Mario. <3 It isn't an extremely had game but it is pure joy for me. Too bad I haven't found a copy of Thousan Year Door yet.....

Then there's also Pikmin.... 2. The time limit on the first is a nice challenge, but I love to muck around and do whatever when I'm still on a mission. That's why I seem to enjoy the sequal more. Although I'm still up to the last cavern and haven't actually won it yet, it's a game I've been playing over the years. And I didn't have to pay for the game either! Too bad there's no actual cover for it then and there's no instruction booklet to snoop through. DX
