The PS1 bootup takes me back to watching my older cousins play Crash Bandicoot and Tomba back when I could barely hold any controller that had more than 2 buttons.

As for games I did play, I get chills whenever I hear the Ocarina of Time title screen. Something so comforting, about it, like going on a trip before the sun rises. I don't even really enjoy playing the game anymore (it holds up well enough, it's just very stale compared to what comes after), I just boot it up as audiovisual comfort food. Also, similar shoutout for having my second favorite Staff Roll Themes in a Video Game (First is Vagrant Story, third is FFVII).

Seriously though, from 2nd to 5th grade, Ocarina of Time ruled my life. I poured over the Prima guide, reading about all the different locations and races, making my own lore theories about the Triforce. The game did a lot for my imagination.
