I mean seriously, forget pics, old TV shows, songs and memorabilia. Whenever you look at those sure you do get nostalgic and thrown back. But do you actaully feel like you're re-living the past?
For me, thanks to my serious devotion to gaming up until my last years as a teen, whenever I play a game now which I played back in the day I get thrown into this vibe where it's as if I'm inside a capsule and everything around me transforms into what it was back when the game was new. It's as if I've literally travelled back in time. This also happens when I watch old video game reviews (the Happy Game Nerd's reviews especially). The box art simply pops up and I can actually recall seeing the box on display at the store back then. What adds to the nostalgia is that the store I recall could be one which is now closed down. I never get as nostalgic as this with anything else.
Do old games do this to you too? Or something close to it?
