I think it's safe to say that I got an love for old games that I used to play "back in the day" (yea yea, I know im not that old, but hey). Some people refer to it as nostalgia, I however like to call it "the feeling". The feeling is something I have covered in my blogs before and you might remember some of my earlier posts if you're a long time reader : )!. For the newcomers however (if there's any that is) please enjoy and let me give you a short runthrough of what it's all about:

We all know (even you!) how it is to pick up a game you once loved to death and play it all over again, just to experience that the nostalgia/feeling have gone. Suddenly you realise that this wasn't everything you made it up to be in the first place and puts it back on the shelf where it probably belongs. While these games might not necessarily be all that great, you still got those sweet memories of em' burried within you. For me those games are the one that matters the most and it's those games I would rather have on my shelf than any others. Most of them are mainly from my childhood while others are actually pretty new, but they're few and far between unfortunatly. While many of them literally sucks when you look at them from a reviewing point and that the greatness you saw in them when you were young, were mainly because you were... well, young, they're still holding a place in your heart (tissues please). That's what the feeling is about! and that's what I love from gaming. To get an cool, awesome, thrilling moment that you won't just forget like that. May it be a story, music, character or whatever you might fall for, is one thing true, they're all potential ingredients in "the feeling".

But haven't you heard all this before?!? Why does he keep blabling about this oversensitive "the feeling"? hah, what's up with that name anyway? Yea well heh, I actually understand you if that's what you're thinking, but hey, that's the kinda stuff I love to write about and the way I want to go with this blog : ). I want you all to know that these series of blog's will be written mainly for my own sake and it's a thing ive wanted to do for a long long time, but you're more than welcome (and I would love that) to drop by and eventually leave a comment if it's of any interest : )

Ive been thinking bout' putting this whole thing into a timeline and sorta make a "review of my life" as an gamer from my first years when I got an Nintendo Gameboy in christmas present back in 1994 to today where I own most of the next gen consoles. At the moment I'm sitting here with an list of over 100 games that have given me the nostalgia trip (!) and putting them into some sort of timeline would be near impossible. So what im gonna do instead is to take a game from it, once in a while whenever I feel for it, and give you a little information not only about the game, but also about my experience and history with it. If you made it this long - congrats and thanks for taking you time (appreciated).
