    So I just went back to meet my parents in Africa (Nigeria for any who are curious) While I was sifting through my old junk I found my DS along with some of the games I had on it.
    Pokemon platinum (my first pokemon, plus along with diamond and pearl's roms, the only ones I have played))
    Disgaea (till this day I'm never sure if it's 'eae' or 'aea')
    Digimon world
    Advanced wars- dual strike
    Dragon quest 9 (the only one I've played)
    Final fantasy 12 (it really wasn't that good) e.t.c

    Right now I'm just basking in the nostalgia as I once again, after almost 8 years, sweep through the Sinnoh region like a scourge beating up and capturing pokemon

    ...

    It sounds really weird when I say it like that, but let's roll with it.

    My best song from DS

    For the sake of nostalgia, just wondering if anyone remembers any good games I can finally use my emulator for. It's been sitting on my desktop for a few years now, almost untouched.

    When I hear someones first pokemon game is platinum I remember how old I am as my first pokemon game was red version on the old behemoth of a gameboy that took 4 AA batteries.

    The gameboy is a close second to me, with the DS being first.

    It's not that I'm young (in my mid-twenties), but my parents weren't all about games and I was more a pc person, so the only two 'consoles' I owned. pre-uni, were a DS and a PS2

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon! Especially Sky, don't forget to try out blue/ red too.

    Then try Harvest Moon, Harvest Moon DS especially.

    Lastly is a personal favorite of mine, it's my childhood game and the game that is always in my heart, Megaman Starforce 1,2,3. Try em out! :)

    OH! How could I have have forgotten harvest moon?! The hours I put into that game.
    I tried the mystery dungeons when I was younger, but they weren't quite my cup of tea, I'll give them a second shot though.
    As for the megaman games, never played one, but maybe I'll give them a try.

    Both were great. I personally love gen 2 and 4 so I'm incapable of comparing the two. I know gen 2 is supposed to be one of the best gens but I also personally love platinum and gen 4

    I loved Crystal~ Of course, it was the first Pokemon game that I played when I was actually old enough to play it properly (instead of just messing around). I remember that I tried to play Red/Blue back before I could even read, I bugged my older sister to read the options for me...

    But back on topic with DS games, I loved The World Ends With You and of course, the Phoenix Wright games. And much less known, Ghost Trick--not all that much replay value imho, but it was really fun to play.

    I have an original gameboy... the black and white version, or rather, the black and yellow-ish version...
