Jumpstart Animal Adventures that I’d play ALL the time before and after Primary School. This echolocation song was burned into my brain and I still catch myself singing the words “I find my prey I find my way, echo-loca-tion yeahhh” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvr4KSDA9Yo (Batney Ears tho, iconic)
also I had an early game save just to leave Jak & Daxter running on Sentinel Beach even when I wasn't actively playing it, purely so I could listen to its theme whenever I wanted. My parents would get annoyed at me for leaving the TV on haha, but hearing it always made me feel so calm (:

not too long ago, I made a list going of all the PC games I could recall playing as a kid. I wanted to relive those precious afternoons I spent losing track of time in the computer lab of my public library. I recently found one of my favs, Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside (1996) on Steam. playing it as an adult brought me so much joy, I can't even tell you. and the reviews on Steam made me smile so much, especially the one below (hilarious). I also realized that Pajama Sam is voiced by Pamela Adlon (Spinelli Recess, Bobby King of the Hill, etc.) which is cool af. so go find those games you used to play & travel back in time! I was shocked with how much I remembered. plus there's nothing like hearing those 90's sound FX, they just don't make em like that anymore. :')
Despite never actually having played the game, the soundtrack alone still sends me on a time machine back to my youth. I spent my childhood watching minecraft let's plays and role plays; including Aphmau's mystreet, ihascupquake's oasis series, itsfunneh's yandere series, squaishy quack's cake quest and anything by LdShadowlady.
Ah, those were the days.
Honerable mentions include girlsgogames and miniclip (rip flash)
Sent to two friends, one who got me the shirt and the other the necklace. But also I’ve been feeling down lately and I like my face in this one, *so* (my hair is clipped up, it’s actually down to my lower back, but I’m feeling more confident in myself if I ever go shorter again!)
