The first thing you think of when a game is mentioned

An ongoing thread for the images that immediately spring to mind when a game is mentioned

I’ll start:

Whenever someone mentions A Link to the Past, I think of the guy camping under the bridge, who you get an empty bottle from.

When someone mentions Killer7, I think of shooting the moon and the exact sound effects that follow.

When someone mentions Earthbound, I think of the demo reel where the music is bumping and you see every area in a little spotlight frame.

When someone mentions Dark Savior (happens all the time) I think of his mullet.

is always going to make me think “bumpy trot” and then “irem also made the disaster report games” and then “but they didnt develop kyoei toshi” and then i will think of a cherished memory of standing around a ps4 with buds, gleefully playing kyoei toshi with a live @Rudie translation inside of the least fucked house we have ever rented for a meetup
