The original Luigi’s Mansion. First off little kid me was still scared SHITLESS cause this game has ghosts everywhere. And that dumb kid didn’t have a clue what “triangles” or animations" were so in his mind those ghosts could do ANYTHING to poor little Luigi just trying to save his brother.

And the story of course isn’t anything super amazing of course, it’s a non-rpg Mario game. But again little kid me doesn’t know shit. In my mind I can remember thinking "what if E.Gadd is lying and is actually evil. What if I can still find Mario somewhere in this mansion and we can gtfo together.

My family used to rent that shit from blockbuster all the time and I was youngest of three, so I barely got to play much back then and we wouldn’t own it for years. But I can still remember major tears of joy when I finally did and Luigi just starts laughing at Mario with that vent stuck around his neck.
