ninkendo 11/14/21 11:32:47 AM #1:	Whether it's because you got them on that holiday or your played them on that holiday and it was super memorable or the game takes place during that holiday whatever it is. Some of these for me are really weird and hyper specific. New Years Day - Devil May Cry 4 Birthday - Jaws (NES) Easter - Super Mario Bros. 3 Halloween - Castlevania the Adventure remake (WiiWare) Thanksgiving - Donkey Kong Country Christmas - Final Fantasy Legend II New Years Eve - Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 2 I tried to think if I have a strong game related memories to any other holidays but not really --- https://imgtc.com/i/iJnhdkc.gif https://imgtc.com/i/j45EVGx.png <cite>ninkendo posted [p:959990275] in Any games ...

StifledSilence 11/14/21 11:47:19 AM #6:	Yeah specifically Thanksgiving. I have strong memories of two years in particular when I was a kid. 1. Playing a ton of Pilotwings 64 before the Thanksgiving Parade 2. A few days after Thanksgiving, playing Chrono Trigger and FF6 on a computer for the first time while we ate Thanksgiving leftovers and watched a car auction. Also Christmas of 96 will forever be the N64 Christmas of Mario, Pilotwings, and Wave Race. --- Bear Bro The Empire of Silence <cite>StifledSilence posted [p:959990570] in Any games ...

Isquen 11/14/21 12:09:56 PM #9:	Nebulously. Its more partitioned by months than holidays. Early December is for Megaman classic, for when I got chickenpox on the same day as Megaman 3. Mid December is usually simulation games. Harvest Moons, Stardew Valley, Rune Factory, the like. Christmas to New Years is usually coop online stuff, since I used to go to a mini LAN as a New Years party. January through March is whatever, fighting games, and backlog catchup, though this year its gonna be Endwalker stuff. Halloween time is whatever online thing has the most compelling FOMO items. --- [The Artist Formerly Known as Earthshaker.] <cite>Isquen posted [p:959991125] in Any games ...

MrGreenonion 11/14/21 8:21:44 PM #22:	Christmas - Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt and Sonic Spinball. If I smell a Christmas tree I want to play these games. Also strongly associate Final Fantasy IV with Christmas shopping bc of a year when I went around the city doing my Christmas shopping after work and then played FFIV Advance on my Game Boy micro on the subway ride home. Thanksgiving - Chrono Trigger DS, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Sonic Unleashed, and Tomb Raider Underworld. On Thanksgiving 2008, my partner had to work, so we celebrated on Friday and I spent actual Thanksgiving at home by myself playing these games (the latter two were just demos). New Year's Eve - Mega Man 3 and Metal Gear Solid. Various years, I spent the last several hours before midnight playing these games, or in the case of MM3, drawing the characters in the manual during the hours I wasn't allowed to monopolize the TV. <cite>MrGreenonion posted [p:960004689] in Any games ...

Xuxon 11/15/21 10:56:21 AM #24:	As a kid I was once playing Mega Man X in the morning before people arrived on Thanksgiving and somehow that's stuck in my mind ever since. It wasn't even my first time playing it. That's my only association of a game with a holiday besides Christmas.
