Games that have now or will be turned 40, 30, 20 and 10 years old as of 2026
-
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?

WTF, I remember getting Final Fantasy XV day one, getting pissed at the FOMO carnivals, and thinking surely they would rotate back in or all be included at some point. Still absolute bullshit.

I know these kinds of posts absolutely mummify me but I read them anyway...

mmm no. nope. pokemon red/blue was maybe 15 years ago. and oblivion is pretty recent.
nope time hasn’t really moved on that much. that cant be right ..
jk
Assuming you don't live in Japan, Red/Blue actually is slightly more recent than OP led you to think. JP Red/Green was 1996, but international Red/Blue was 1998. Assuming you don't live in Japan, you get two years of youth back.

Too bad neither of those games saved Clover from going under. Quite a damn shame.

Hitman in 10 years club? You might’ve mixed in the reboot. OG Hitman was released in 2000, which makes it 26 yrs old.

Don't add Pokemon Go in the 10 years club...
I remember being in yr11, Classmate comes in and says "have you heard of Pokemon Go?" I didn't even have a mobile phone at that time (thanks mom/dad/bible) so obviously no.
10 years after highschool, and if my school DID had those 10 year reunion things like the movies, I have nothing to share...

Wait. 20 years since the DS??? AgingMattDamon.gif
