I'm definitely enjoying Fire Emblem Engage. It's story is rather goofy (I do like FemAlear's design, I will admit), but it does take me back to the Tellius games, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, which were my jumping-on point with the series.
Stage Select:
Playing several of the Zelda games again, namely the first game, A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess, and Breath of the Wild, which are my favorites. One of the things I loved about Breath of the Wild is that it did kind of remind me of my first time playing the original game, at the age of 10, back in 1987.
Ultima III: Exodus was probably my first "traditional" RPG. I've since beaten it and know how to blow through it, but back in 1988, it seemed so big, mysterious, and full of unlimited potential. The same thing could be said about Starflight, but again, I got a sense of that recently when I started playing No Man's Sky, which has quickly become a firm favorite.
Final Fantasy VI, my first Final Fantasy, and FFVII, which had an unrivaled sense of spectacle at the time.
Dragon Quest VIII, which was special because I played it with my wife the first year I was married.
Cage Match:
I had to go to Google to look these games up, since I could only vaguely remember these names. I'm going to give it to Dr. Muto out of respect to Ed Logg, who is a gaming legend.
