* '''TODO''' the many, many, MANY games emulation opened up...
to:
* '''TODO''' ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'': One of, if not THE first in a series I sampled by what I assure you was perfectly legal means. My first playthrough was a multi-day binge (was before I knew frame skip existed), and my current nick is a corruption of Faris' real name, which I've used since 2001.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'': I got into themany, many, MANY Tales series all thanks to the fan translation. This is easily my all time favorite SNES game, as its Linear Motion Battle System is just the right ActionRPG hybrid mix for me.
* ''VideoGame/{{Crystalis}}'': One of the more impactful gamesemulation opened up...I sampled in the early 2000s, its ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' style gameplay and post-apocalyptic storyline work well, if you exclude the apocalypse happening in 1997.
* ''VideoGame/SeikenDensetsu3'': Another in the series of games denied to my childhood, played through multiple times to see multiple characters' stories. I'd buy a remake of this in a heartbeat, if anything just to have a version with fast menus.
* ''VideoGame/{{Terranigma}}'', ''VideoGame/IllusionOfGaia'', ''VideoGame/SoulBlazer'': My earliest exposure to eastern philosophy and spiritualism came from these games. These {{ActionRPG}}s were fun, challenging, and yet made me look at extistentialism in a different way. The enormous ''Terranigma'' is the one I most want to see remade, but the others had their own charm.
* ''VideoGame/Spelunker2'': Not particularly notable, but I made the fan translation for it. Seriously, google it.
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVI'': Having last played II, I didn't realize how much the series had truly advanced. Legitimately speaking, ignoring the grinding and all, VI is easily the longest SNES game. Involving a bunch of mini-arcs encompassed by an overarching "save the world" plot, it introduced me to the fantastic characterization and depth that go into modern ''Dragon Quest'' games.
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'': Easily the best storyline out of any ''Dragon Quest'' game, past and present. With the unique romp through the life of the player character, literally growing old with them, it presented a unique form of video game storytelling that has seldom been matched.
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'': I tried it, but having no control over my support characters kept me away for years...until playing the DS version which resolved this oversight. I have no tolerance for idiot AI doing most of the work.
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII'': I actually did go through these backwards. Played through both the NES and SNES versions, which are quite interesting. You start out on the [[LostContinent Mu]] continent on a more or less normal Earth, solve the world's problems, and then fall down a volcano in the Antarctic and land in Alefgard. A beautiful end to a trilogy that deserves a true remake, given the short lengths and grindiness of I and II.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'', ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'': Had to play them to say I did. Got the DS remakes of III and IV as well. I just could not get into II's battle system...never got far until doing a cheat run in 2016.
* ''VideoGame/SailorMoonAnotherStory'' and ''VideoGame/MagicKnightRayearth'': Two [=RPGs=] based on MagicalGirl series released around the same time and then fan translated in quick succession years later. I found MKR enjoyable much because I'd never seen the anime, and it got me to watch said anime years later. (though the gameplay was bog standard turn-based) As for SMAS...I honestly need to watch through the original ''Sailor Moon'' in full and try it again.
* ''VideoGame/LiveALive'': Late into my romp, after exhausting some of the more obviously missed titles, I found Live-a-Live. It has an amazing presentation and one hell of a twist. Then suddenly in 2015, it becomes relevant again thanks to Undertale sharing some DNA with it, particularly in the song Megalovania. This is one of few games that I'd recommend to others, and don't read up anything on it...major spoilers can be flippantly made.
* ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'': I like its weirdness, but I struggled with the soundtrack at the time. I have frequent headaches, and something in the soundtrack triggered them. It wouldn't be until years later that I finished this one.
* ''VideoGame/{{Lufia}}'': Standard ''Dragon Quest'' clone, but with a twist. It also had a lot of banter between characters, and in fact was one of the first to do so. This made Lufia's characters seem far more relatable than any other SNES RPG.
* ''VideoGame/LufiaIIRiseOfTheSinistrals'': Not-spoiler, they die at the end. This predictable prequel took Lufia's positive qualities UpToEleven, put all monsters on the map (a welcome addition, given the original's high encounter rate) and had puzzle-packed dungeon. This formula is where the series has always been at its strongest, a shame they never repeated it excluding the reboot.
* ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireII'': I've played I through IV, but this one gets special mention due to its use of AnimeCatholicism...for the villians. It's remarkable that this wasn't severely canned entirely given Nintendo of America's reputation at the time.
* ''VideoGame/UnchartedWatersNewHorizons'': I could never finish this one, but I kind of enjoyed just mucking around and exploring in this very non-linear game, set in the real world during the Age of Exploration.
* ''VideoGame/YsIV'' and ''VideoGame/YsV'': I could swear I played Ys 3 as a rental, but I got into these series through...totally legal means as well. Seven plus games with the same protagonist, along with a side story or two, and still going strong.
* ''VideoGame/StarOcean'': The fan translation of this one came late, but when it did...just wow. While I found the 2D style of ''Phantasia'' less chaotic, this is still in my top ten regardless. As a trekkie, I picked up on a lot of things as well.

I'm also on a bit of a mission to make at least stubs for all the old games I remember fondly, out of desire for historical preservation as well. The red links below can be regarded as spoilers for that project. In that vein, I've added the following:
* ''VideoGame/SuperPitfall'': Distinct enough from its predecessors to be worth mentioning, actually moreso than a lot of sequels of the era.
* ''VideoGame/HardDrivin'': Another trailblazer that went unnoticed.
* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNightsAOL'': This game was too important to too many people to be a mere footnote on the ''VideoGame/GoldBox'' page.
* ''[[VideoGame/CyberStrike [=CyberStrike=] ]]'': I sunk a lot of hours into this game.
* ''VideoGame/TheRealmOnline'': Forgotten, but popular in its time...even if it was mostly a stepping stone.

''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'': As soon as I got a PC, the first game I had to play was the one everyone talked about. It wouldn't be until years later that I got the full version, but I managed a Nightmare run of the first act, secret level included, once.
* ''VideoGame/DragonRealms'': Originally played via AOL, I dumped a LOT of hours into this text RPG with its scary perma death and where '''roleplaying was mandatory'''. Ah, the good old days. Like the other AOL exclusives below this one, eventually they became open to the rest of the internet. Particularly notable because I managed to sell my top-tier character for over a grand, back before the character economy tanked.
* ''VideoGame/CyberStrike'': Another game that I found on AOL and followed after I ditched the service. Dating back to '93, it's a simple polygonal tank battle game which I seriously enjoyed. Even took part in a tourney.

It was a quirky little multiplayer sidescroller game with objectives other than killing (such as hacking terminals) and was one of the earliest multiplayer games to have this. Since it came out when 2D games were considered cancer, it never really took off.
* ''VideoGame/RealmsOfKaos'': A text/graphical mix which never really had a high simultaneous user base, it gets a mention because I spent '''a lot''' of time working on it: I was the admin with the quirky name '''You''', and I built areas of the game. The game itself was created by Lance [="DungeonMaster"=] Hoskins. It still runs today, but went through changes in management and development, so I don't know how much of my old work is still around.

* ''VideoGame/Asteroids'': Despite being from TheSeventies, I played this one in the mid 1980s around when the NES came out. I played it a lot, actually. I remember playing almost exclusively on games 17 and 50, because you could keep your ship immobile and shoot everything while also being able to flip your ship. I overscored twice in 1986 and had to quit due to my thumb getting sore, which remained so for at least a day. Among the earliest memories I can corroborate, even though I couldn't paint a picture of it if I tried.

Being a 1977 game, it's also the oldest game I've ever played in its original format.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'': Was a major favorite. I played through both quests many times, memorizing the locations of everything, trying to get perfect and completionist games, but failed the latter. (so many secrets...)
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'': I remember being super thrilled about finishing it in 4 days. [lol] Ah, the times they are a changin'...
* ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'': I have a fondness for black sheep, and it starts with this one. I think I've managed both perfect and completionist runs of this one, albeit not together. It's another of the six I have cartridges for.
* ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}: Pew pew. I played this one way too much, from a KonamiCode cheater, to a legit player, to a lucky one-time no-hit run (over a year later)...to be a kid again and have the time for frivolous achievements.

* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'': Back when it was Dragon Warrior. I got the free ''NintendoPower'' copy, of course! I loved it then, but it has '''''not aged well'''''. No NostalgiaFilter can hide how grindy it was, but it got a pass because it came first. It's great for obscure references, though, and it taught me YeOldeButcheredEnglish.

;;;1990s
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'': Sans power glove, it literally was bad.
* ''VideoGame/GameGenie'': Talk about breathing new life into old games. I had this for both NES and SNES. I used it more for game-breaking codes than cheating.
* ''VideoGame/DragonWarriorII'': Technically came out before the below, but I got this first. Found it was more enjoyable, still grindy AF (but child me still didn't care), loved the Malroth monster at the end along with its foreboding music. A shame that I never did get III, as it was such a huge step up.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'': I still have my copy of this too! I could hardly play Dragon Warrior 1 after this one...it was such a huge leap in comparison.
* ''VideoGame/ClashAtDemonhead'': Alas, I only got this as a rental, but I loved its gameplay style and quirky humor. I did find the easter egg with the dead guy, too.
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand'': Honestly, didn't get much into Game Boy until getting the adapter years later, but this was a fun little oddball. Too short, though.
* ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'': 1-3, probably was a rental, but I remember managing to finish the second one.
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'': The standard SNES pack-in did not disappoint, even though it wasn't until Christmas of that year that I got to play it. I remember being annoyed (in a childish way) about it not being on the NES I actually had. [lol]
* ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure'': Living on a budget, of course I still had my NES when it came out.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyMysticQuest'': I honestly have no idea why I got this, maybe it was on sale. I had enough RPG experience to not need a beginner RPG, but maybe it was due to the drought before the hurricane of [=RPGs=] at the time. Still doesn't explain ''why I never got VideoGame/FinalFantasy IV at the time'', but I enjoyed this quirky title nonetheless.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'': Back when it was III, I remember getting this early enough that I believe the copy I have includes the sketch glitch. I used it on an early playthrough, too, winning the lottery with a bunch of Ragnaroks and Paladin Shields by sketching either Behemoth or its undead form.
* ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'': The music...oh, the wonderful music. Letting the final boss just sit still so I could listen to its theme in a loop...and the relatively easy ActionRPG gameplay is pretty cathartic.
* ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'': Third in the holy trinity of SNES [=RPGs=], and apparently the three that Square was working on simultaneously. By this time, I had "internet" (AOL)...and the fandom was real, and intense. Magus was everyone's husbando (before that was a term), though my nerdy self liked Robo. :p
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand2'': More true to the original, got a lot of hours out of this one thanks to finally having an adapter. Also enjoyed certain glitches that broke the game.
* ''[[VideoGame/GoldBox Neverwinter Nights]]'': I loved experimenting with my crummy Performa 030 Mac, and found ways to optimize its emulation of a 286 PC. Through this, I was able to play the ORIGINAL NWN for AOL. A tactics game done right, while admittedly the mechanics left much to be desired, as an MMORPG capable of handling 500 players it was impressive for its time. Its demise came around 1997, and it has been missed.
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'': Loved it, did multiple playthroughs.
* ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'': I had a Mac, and 286 emulation was still pretty slow, so my gaming choices were limited. It wouldn't be until 1997 that I started picking up the many PC games I missed out on. Of course, I only played the shareware levels of Marathon. :P

* Lots of unnamed rerun series. In those days, even the BigThree aired repackaged LooneyTunes, MerrieMelodies, {{Popeye}}, TomAndJerry, and other shorts from the 30's-60's. Not to mention sitcoms and dramas...ILoveLucy, ThreeStooges, GilligansIsland, BradyBunch, and others.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Heathcliff}}'': Though the second wave is more etched into my memory.
* ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'': Next time, Gadget. Next time!
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony'': Generation 1 is so underrated, even today. They aged down the target audience afterwards, until G4.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': Must seem like a heresy after I listed the above, but I didn't then and don't now subscribe to the notion of targeted audiences.
* ''WesternAnimation/JemAndTheHolograms'': Truly outrageous. Rewatched it decades later, to get the many episodes I missed.
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'': This is when
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'': Can't account for taste.
* ''Series/SavedByTheBell'': I'm so excited! I'm so exciiiited! I'm so...scared!!
* ''Franchise/TGiF'': For about seven years following it. Stopped before they made the i lowercase.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': I caught the ChristmasEpisode pre-pilot that aired right before the turn of the decade.
!1990s
* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'': First of many Warner Bros. offerings.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Not out of order. I didn't get into TNG until Best of Both Worlds. (1990)
* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'': Second of the four Disney toons I enjoyed. Let's get dangerous.
* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiPizzaCats'': First anime* ever?
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': The beginning of a 14 year universe of masterpieces that put their live action counterparts to shame...and targeted to kids to boot. Poor Mr. Freeze.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': Pretty much enjoyed this entire series, and the movies.
* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': It wouldn't be until over a decade later that I'd watch this through. I didn't particularly like the shift to a static location at the time. Moaned about the "wormhole they never used".
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': Like this one needs explanation.
* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': I adored this series. Missed a number of episodes but caught them in a rewatch decades later.
* ''Series/{{Sliders}}: Fun dimensional travel scifi dogged by casting problems. I'd love to see this rebooted.
* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': Before I became picky and bitter about dubbing, also my first ever non-gag dub anime.
* ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'': Also needs no introduction.
* ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'': I missed the later seasons...will need to catch up. RIP Dan Turpin.
* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': Disturbing in its realism, and yet I couldn't stop watching.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Histeria}}: First in the series of "too old for this", but I watched it sporadically. It reflects a later enjoyment of history.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Honestly, I was too old when it started airing, and only watched 1 season, but I cried when Butterfree left. (didn't believe ''Pikachu's Goodbye'' [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt for a second]])
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Neh...neh...fam...ily...guy! I'm a sucker for animated sitcoms.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}: I wish science fiction weren't such a hard sell to average audiences.
!2000s
* ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'': Barely. I didn't truly get into it until a decade later. I regret falling into the TheyChangedItSoItSucks trap.
* ''Series/{{Smallville}}: Though I only kept up with it for about 4-5 seasons.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'': I got into the Kaizoku Fansubs version by chance in the early 2000s.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': I had no cable before 2003. Eventually binged the entire series and have kept up with it since.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'': Also its [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited follow-up series]], I loved the DCAU.
* ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'': I enjoyed it more for the spectacle, as the themes no longer applied to me at my age.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': MacFarlane's own sci-fi offering does not disappoint.
* ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'': It was on
* ''WebVideo/AngryVideoGameNerd'': Releasing all the game-rage we all pretend that we kept pent up as children. ;P
* ''Series/TheBoondocks}}: Talk about propping up a network...this was a masterpiece.
* ''Series/TheSopranos'': Woke up this mornin'...got in on this late.
* ''Series/BreakingBad'': When non-premium television took a leap in quality...this was mandatory watching for the time.
* ''Series/MadMen'': Two thirds of AMC's "big three", and at the forefront of the retro trend.
* ''Series/StarTrek'': It wasn't until Netflix that I could get into this series in earnest. At least I watched it at an age I could truly appreciate it.
* ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'': Truth be told, I'd seen bits of this for like a decade prior. But I binged it on someone's YouTube channel as it's next to impossible to find now.
!2010s
* I watched a ton of anime between 2008-2011, but Netflix records only go back to 2/24/11 (had it since way before) so...yeah.
* ''Series/TheWalkingDead'': Zombies + drama actually worked, though admittedly it's starting to get old...
* ''WebVideo/ExtraCredits'': Especially ''Extra History'', though I've seen most of the "green" series.
* ''Manga/ElfenLied'': Around early 2010s is when I caught this on Netflix. Finally read the manga in 2017, which kinda changes a lot of the dynamic. My number one TearJerker, regardless.
* ''Series/{{Glee}}'': What can I say? I like musicals.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'': Didn't get to this until 2011, sadly. I love it, even if BBC's being damn stingy about it.
* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'': ...and of course its sister series.
* ''Series/BobsBurgers'': Animated sitcom in a small business setting, but it works really well thanks to its quirky characters.
* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}: A poster child for how to do everything right in a remake.
* ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'': Short and sweet.
* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'': Strange, but enjoyable.
* ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'': I almost wonder if it's not worth listing all the stuff I caught on Netflix.
* Netflix binges I literally don't remember the plots of (or only barely remember): ''Anime/CorpsePrincess'', ''Anime/PhantomRequiemForThePhantom'', ''Anime/EdenOfTheEast'', ''Anime/SpeedGrapher'', ''Anime/GunslingerGirl'', ''Manga/LeChevalierDEon'', and a bunch more I don't feel like listing.
* ''Anime/{{Baccano}}: While from the above binge, it stood out majorly. 1930's setting with anime superpowers and a catchy theme.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Like my fantasy nerd tendencies needed any convincing. Got into it late, though.
* ''Series/{{Arrow}}: Enter the Arrowverse.
* ''Series/HouseOfCards'': The most entertaining documentary about Washington to date.
* ''Anime/GankutsuouTheCountOfMonteCristo'': Revenge themes, yaoi subtext, and a weird unique aesthetic? Win!
* ''Manga/WelcomeToTheNHK'': Totally not a suspicious entry on this list.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': And the circle is complete...kind of.
* ''Series/TheFlash2014'': The most science fiction of Arrowverse series is also my favorite.
* ''Series/{{Daredevil}}: Why pick sides in DC vs. Marvel, when you can enjoy both?
* ''Series/ZNation'': A strangely entertaining mockbuster answer to the "blahs" from TWD getting too repetitive, where zombies are fun and hokey again.
* ''Series/TheTudors'', ''Series/TheBorgias'', and ''Series/MarcoPolo''...the historical fiction trio.
* ''Series/{{Supergirl}}: The upbeat, alien-tastic Arrow-multiverse entry does not disappoint.
* ''Series/JessicaJones'': My favorite among the Defenders series, I enjoyed Ritter's performance and the {{noir}} atmosphere.
* ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'': Time travel and historical references: The fourth Arrowverse entry is definitely up my alley.
* ''Series/WataMote'': Hit kinda close to home, if I am to be frank.
* ''Series/BetterCallSaul'': Breaking Bad's spinoff does not disappoint. Only Creator/VinceGilligan can pull off that kind of pacing.
* ''Series/LukeCage'': Defenders arc #3 does not disappoint.
* ''Series/IronFist'': The weakest of the four arcs, but enjoyable nonetheless.
!Future
* Netflix + Marvel's future offerings
* ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'': Shouldn't it be obvious?
!!'''FILMS''': TODO
Now for some narcissism.
!!'''VIDEO GAMES''': TODO
!!'''TELEVISION''': Abridged, chronological list of works I've enjoyed over the decades:
This is actually a really incomplete list. For whatever reason, the science fiction series are more burnt into my consciousness.
