    I think I've got an idea of a way to make somewhat of an annual thing where I will post games that have turned X years old. There's a guy who posts daily screenshots so I got an idea to do something similar.

    So, what games are turning a little older in 2026?

    Diablo, Soul Edge, Tekken 2, Resident Evil, Command and Conquer, Super Mario RPG, Sid Meier's Civilization II, Duke Nukem 3D, NIGHTS Into Dream, Pokemon Red and Green, Descent II, House of the Dead, Crash Bandicoot, Dead or Alive, Super Mario 64, Tomb Raider, PaRappa the Rapper, X-Men vs Street Fighter, The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall

    The 20-Year Old Class of 2006

    Prey, Saints Row, Okami, Bully (PS2), The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Mother 3, Cooking Mama, New Super Mario Bros, Garry's Mod, Dwarf Fortress, Guitar Hero, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Yakuza 2, Final Fantasy X-2, Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth 2, Dead Rising, Half-Life 2: Episode One

        I'm pretty sure it was yesteryear that all the kids were hazardously catching Pokémon outdoors while staring blindly into their phones.

            I can hear the Out Run music in my head like it's been yesterday.
            No way it's been 40 years...

                    I have played nearly all of these games when they were still brand new or only a few years old. My back hurts. 👴

                          You're pretty young. Enjoy it. Soon you'll get one grey hair, and then another. And another. Soon you'll have back problems, and be regularly aware that you need to eat more fiber.

                            Maybe this is an Avatar/ATLA situation, but as far as I'm aware Prey came out in 2017.

                              There was indeed an earlier Prey game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2006_video_game)

                                We all should take the time we have been given for granted, it's one of the values we really have. Because one day, we won't ever again get to enjoy what we could now. I try not thinking too hard about mortality and how eventually, I'm going to be too old to play nearly anything.

                                    I think I've got an idea of a way to make somewhat of an annual thing where I will post games that have turned X years old. There's a guy who posts daily screenshots so I got an idea to do something similar.

                                    So, what games are turning a little older in 2026?

                                    The original Japanese release of The Legend of Zelda was February 21, 1986, making it 40 in just under three weeks.

                                    North American and European releases were in the summer and fall of 1987, though.

                                          Talk about feeling old I played almost all the games until 2006, but fewer of the list after and hardly from the 2016 one. Not trying to one up but figured good place to comment.

                                          It's been a fun time seeing progression over the years, haven't stopped playing since my first Gemini (Atari 2600 knockoff that played the same games) system. Going from 2d squares to a proper video representation has been awesome. I always enjoyed the graphic improvements the gameplay has had its ups and downs but the remembered ones did that part right.
