Don't add Pokemon Go in the 10 years club...
I remember being in yr11, Classmate comes in and says "have you heard of Pokemon Go?" I didn't even have a mobile phone at that time (thanks mom/dad/bible) so obviously no.
10 years after highschool, and if my school DID had those 10 year reunion things like the movies, I have nothing to share...
Oh that New Super Mario Bros HURT.
fun fact:
:)
Wait. 20 years since the DS??? AgingMattDamon.gif
I think we can officially start calling it old super mario bros now
Original Super Mario Bros.
Hitman in 10 years club? You might’ve mixed in the reboot. OG Hitman was released in 2000, which makes it 26 yrs old.
10 years ago, it was also called hitman

STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD, SIR!
Here's something I do that helps with "feeling old" when people point out things that happened 20 or so years ago.
The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion came out 20 years ago, but what was I actually doing 20 years ago? I was like 10 or 11 years old in middle school and my brother's friend let him borrow the game over the weekend. It was my first open world RPG and I was so excited to play it and could barely even comprehend how big it was. I've basically lived two thirds of my life since then. My first job, moving out of my parents, my first apartment, getting my drivers license, my first car, my first real girlfriend, all of my neices and nephews being born, going to an amusement park for the first time, going to a movie theater for the first time, and basically everything else I can think of because I sure as shit don't remember much from before I was 10 years old. So pretty much everything important that has ever happened in my entire life was between the time of Oblivion coming out and now.
So yeah, we are definitely getting older. But that doesn't mean the time in between was just nothing. It feels like 2006 was yesterday because we often gloss over everything in between and don't really focus on what was actually going on in our lives at the time.
Edit: spelling
mmm no. nope. pokemon red/blue was maybe 15 years ago. and oblivion is pretty recent.
nope time hasn’t really moved on that much. that cant be right ..
Assuming you don't live in Japan, Red/Blue actually is slightly more recent than OP led you to think. JP Red/Green was 1996, but international Red/Blue was 1998. Assuming you don't live in Japan, you get two years of youth back.
To be fair I’ve aged 30 years in the past 5
I'm pretty sure it was yesteryear that all the kids were hazardously catching Pokémon outdoors while staring blindly into their phones.
FUCK
I have played nearly all of these games when they were still brand new or only a few years old. My back hurts. 👴
I know these kinds of posts absolutely mummify me but I read them anyway...
The 20-Year Old Class of 2006
GOD HAND
Casually dropping Okami and God Hand in the same year… Clover were CRACKED.
Too bad neither of those games saved Clover from going under. Quite a damn shame.
The original Japanese release of The Legend of Zelda was February 21, 1986, making it 40 in just under three weeks.
North American and European releases were in the summer and fall of 1987, though.
I can hear the Out Run music in my head like it's been yesterday.
No way it's been 40 years...
Bro I am as old as Cooking Mama...
Also when will we get another game 😭
You're pretty young. Enjoy it. Soon you'll get one grey hair, and then another. And another. Soon you'll have back problems, and be regularly aware that you need to eat more fiber.
We all should take the time we have been given for granted, it's one of the values we really have. Because one day, we won't ever again get to enjoy what we could now. I try not thinking too hard about mortality and how eventually, I'm going to be too old to play nearly anything.
fuck I'm old
Dark Souls III for 2016.
WTF, I remember getting Final Fantasy XV day one, getting pissed at the FOMO carnivals, and thinking surely they would rotate back in or all be included at some point. Still absolute bullshit.
smackdown vs raw 2007 one of the best wrestling games ever alongside no mercy, here comes the pain, and svr 2006
Ok but how on earth did you miss The Legend of Zelda?
Oof, turning 32 next month. Played almost all games from 2006, bit of a reality check haha.
Talk about feeling old I played almost all the games until 2006, but fewer of the list after and hardly from the 2016 one. Not trying to one up but figured good place to comment.
It's been a fun time seeing progression over the years, haven't stopped playing since my first Gemini (Atari 2600 knockoff that played the same games) system. Going from 2d squares to a proper video representation has been awesome. I always enjoyed the graphic improvements the gameplay has had its ups and downs but the remembered ones did that part right.
Maybe this is an Avatar/ATLA situation, but as far as I'm aware Prey came out in 2017.
There was indeed an earlier Prey game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2006_video_game)
This is the one I always think of.
Different game. 2006 Prey is pretty dope tho, and it had radio segments featuring AM legend Art Bell!
