(Saw this question asked on another popular link aggregation website and it got me thinking)

If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would you choose? This might be because you want to do it all again, or because you don't think you got enough out of it the first time. It could be experiencing the game exactly as you were back then, or experiencing a game with what you know now.

For me, it's Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, experienced exactly as I was back in 1991.

Nothing comes close to how jaw-droppingly amazed I was by that opening sequence. The epic orchestral score, the cinematic rainstorm, creeping around in the dark... it was a generational leap above anything I'd played on 8-bit computers and consoles, and even the Megadrive. I'd love to play it again without thirty plus years of Nintendo/Zelda knowledge, or without knowing about the dark world.

one game I didn't see in the whole thread: A story about my uncle While not necessarily my pick, that game is beautiful storytelling and I recommend it to everyone.

This is Zelda 2 right? Where the princess is in a coma in the bed from the very beginning? First side scrolling Zelda?

I seem to remember some guy named Ragu, and I always thought about the spaghetti sauce.

Somehow I never played this again after emulators.

I did Kid Icarus on an emulator. Loved that game.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R series & Metal Gear Solid 1

Sure as hell wouldn't be Zelda. It would probably be Fallout 2, M.A.X., one of first Diablo games. Etc.
