The Games That Made Us - Looking Back At Games From Our Childhood

Ready to take a trip down memory lane? In this episode, your Friendly Neighborhood Gamers—Andrew, Dylan, Aubrey, and special guest Braedon—revisit the formative video games that shaped their childhoods and left a lasting impact. 

From educational staples like Reader Rabbit and trial-by-fire PC demos, to the glory days of handhelds and console favorites like GameCube, DS, and Xbox, they share hilarious stories and heartfelt nostalgia. The crew unpacks obscure games only they seem to remember (Nanosaur, anyone?), the wild west of early online multiplayer, and the titles that cemented their lifelong love for gaming. 

Along the way, they reflect on how social gaming, tech misadventures, and even long family road trips helped define their tastes today—plus, they go head-to-head in a laugh-out-loud “video game synonym” quiz to close things out. Whether you grew up on Stronghold Crusader, Pokémon, Battlefield, or Animal Crossing, this episode is jam-packed with nostalgia, laughs, and genuine friendship.
