Exactly the same thing came to mind.

This is a very... particular collection.

I ran into a bug about 3/4 of the way that made it impossible to continue so I dropped it and watched the ending(s) on YouTube. Anyone else play Buddy Simulator 1984?

That's exciting! I've had a Nintendo attached to my thumbs since I was 5, so I've got no idea what it's like to have such a gap in "video game literacy" but I often think about it. Hope you find this a new hobby you love. My preference is for story driven games but Galaga is top 3 shooters for me.

If you're getting an Xbox, Gamepass is probably filled with good options.

Cool! K's given you some good suggestions that aren't out and out puzzlers to break things up, so I'll throw The Room into the mix. Good training material there. Also Agent A: Puzzle in Disguise.

Sorry, WHAT? I've ignored this game for decades and today I learn Stewart Copeland did the music? 🤯

I don't think we ever did!
I think of 2 primarily as a a single player game, whereas 3 is completely a multiplayer game in my mind.
So how much did you enjoy Redfall? ... 😅

Don't know what kind you like, but if you enjoy the Nintendo flavour and some turn based tactics, Mario + Rabbids is great fun. The way the rabbids poke fun at Nintendo characters is so funny.

I recall the final surgery on the ds game forcing me to move my stylus faster than I thought I ever could. Complete madness this game. 😂

I'm surprised to see Halo Reach and Prey in this list. Also Diablo 2, but for a different reason. Did we ever play that together? I don't remember it...

Very sad. That was outside my old apartment 😭

... Curious, what establishment is selling this as horchata? Don't mind me sharpening this machete here...

Oh yeah! I kept seeing that come up right after the Titanic sub thing 😂
