Doesn't need to be too old, just whatever tracks that, when you hear 'em, elicit the most powerful feelings of nostalgia. Post some good ones! Let other anons share your moment with you.

I remember the sunken shrine, but playing on the GBA curled up in front of my cousin’s fireplace as a younger kid. Every time I hear that song I remember that EXACT time. I probably only experienced that moment for 2 hours of my life, I’ve probably remembered that period of time longer than I actually lived it.

When I hear stories of childhood, curled next to a fireplace, I think of playing Super Mario Land.
So many games, so many tracks, so many memories... I'd post a giant list of it all, but I'll just post a small selection from my personal favorite game of all time.
I've posted this before, but this song brings me to a unique place emotionally that no other song ever has. It's the most precarious balance of peace and tension, hope and anxiety, and it puts me right back in the living room the day I first played this game. Shame none of the remixes have ever really done it justice. youtube.com/watch?v=Q7EVCuK7ZqM
This music always makes me tear up. It's so hopeful and mellow

I played the shit out of Phantasy Star Online when I was a kid so pretty much every major song is nostalgic for me but the title song is by far the best youtube.com/watch?v=l1mtXl-uwkQ

The amount of afternoons of my life I've spent playing Warcraft 3 custom maps that used the stock WC3 songs makes these hit me so hard, goddamn.
Those roleplaying sort of maps like LOAP were my life.

I don't think anything will ever make me nostalgia harder than older runescape songs. There's no way to recreate early runescape times, with people actually hopping on library computers and such to explore this unknown world, relying on a few sites trying to compile info. One of my fondest memories is gathering a bunch of random people in varrock to go to a bar together and just hang out, roleplaying some, then going out there into the wilderness in a suicidal adventure, everyone with mismatched low level gear.

>Warcraft 3 custom maps that used the stock WC3 songs Same reasoning for posting them. fucking loved the crazy maps people would make, LOAP was great, the Resident Evil, or zombie survival maps, remember playing a DBZ adventure or something a lot as well. Even then, all the Dota shit never interested me though. Would still hear these songs all the time waiting for people with their slow-ass internet to finally load in. I was one of them.

It was such a lawless land. Just people making maps and people hosting them in all sorts of versions, but I loved it because you'd just jump in some DBZ adventure map like you said and have a good time.
I remember finding an RE4 map where someone really put a lot of effort to try to make it play as a campaign, sorta like the game, but they never bothered finishing it and dropped it. Nobody would ever host this map, so I took it upon my self to host it every once in a while and explain to people how to play it, they always enjoyed it until the end and wished they had more.
And I have to say, WC3 is when I started hating MOBAs, long before they were a "thing". All that happened when I tried to join this "dota" thing is I would be kicked. You not having the map downloaded ahead of time meant you didn't know how to play, and nobody wanted to "lose". It was different from everything else, because it wasn't a bunch of randoms getting into some strange map and having fun for however long, it was a competitive serious business game.

>LOAP : Japan >Becoming the Yakuza boss and partnering up with the cops to take over the city. Also DBZ tributes and random mauls/TDs of things I liked were the best. Sadly nowadays none of that shit is every played anymore and it's all just the same 5 maps.
Anyone remember all the music compilations Sup Forums use to make? I still got some of them on my HDD and listen to them occasionally. >All dat custom album art. >Dose crazy good songs from games you would have never played. >Wide range of tastes so there's always something for a mood.
