For 90s kids, there's no need for explanation. For others, well, pokemon was a phenomenon. It was everywhere, on TV, in magazines, toys, stickers. You could trade pokemon at the school excursion on the bus.

You felt alive in this world, pokemon gen 1-2 were the pinnacle of pokemon for me. And in gen2, finishing the game, and lo and behold, there's a whole other region (kanto) waiting for you to explore it. The night cycle in the game blew my mind in ways that I have been chasing ever since.

I know it will never be reached again, but the memory will remain as powerful as it was that evening of the early 00s. What is your greatest gaming high, that you know will never be topped again, and that you have been chasing ever since?

I lived and breathed Morrowind.

But I've got optimistic insane news for you all

IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN

I'm playing a game called Kenshi and it feels like it's 2003!

I'm at the verge of tears. Chase that gaming high, YOU'LL FIND IT!!!

Truly loved Morrowind. The first game that I played that had such a powerful construction set! And getting to influence the construction of the colony on Solstheim in Bloodmoon was captivating.

It really did feel like "Living another life" as the box art proclaimed.

I'm still enjoying OpenMW to this day, when I can, in my adult life. Also (can't find the image at the moment)

Are we soulmates!? I lived and breathed Morrowind too! I've got Kirkbride's concept art tattooed all over my body, hehe.
