A link to the past.
Hundreds of games since then only castlevania symphony of the night comes close
I can still hear that rabbit music
Chrono Trigger
Paper Mario

Ye
Zelda - Link to the Past. I had so much fun playing Link Between Worlds.
I still need to play Link Between Worlds. Link To The Past is the best 2D Zelda imo
Might and Magic 7: For blood and honor
Sunset Riders SNES.
Any of the cluefinders games, or gizmos and gadgets. Plenty of other edutainment classics do it too. Outside of edutainment, only NHL2000 and Halo: CE come to mind.
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. Played it as a child together with my mom. She had all the worldly knowledge, but at the time I was the only one who could speak/understand English, so teamwork was key. That game meant hours of educational fun for the both of us.
Broken telephone
Hungry hungry hippos
At the risk of sounding ancient: Lifeforce on the NES.
Classic Concentration, based on the TV game show!
Dune 2. It was the gateway drug that turned me playing computer games into a full blown addiction for a bunch of my family.
Relations camped out waiting for a slot to satisfy the urge for months until they could scrape together the cash to fund an appropriate PC to run it themselves at home.
Sid Meier’s Pirates!
I played the original when it came out on PC in like 1987. A friend of my dad gave me a copy, but I didn’t have the manuals or map or anything that came in the box, so in order to figure out how to get around the Caribbean I had to crack an encyclopedia to a map, and that got me both interested in maps and also in reading the history of all these places I’d been to in the game.
I still play the 2004 remake of that game a few times a year.
