The original tomb raider is massively nostalgic for me because I only played it once, thought it was awesome but couldn't get past that damn sewer level with the rats.
One thing I have discovered: Playing nostalgic games over and over drains the games of nostalgia for me. Like, HeXen was always one of the most nostalgic games ever for me, as was Simon the Sorceror 1 and 2, but I've played those games so many times over now that they're barely nostatlgic for me anymore.
Also age of empires 1 used to be my number 1 most nostalgic game after coming back to it after age of empires 2 for years.... but I've played aoe1 so much again now that it's no longer notalgic.
Like, Starcraft and Dark Reign were very nostalgic RTS games for me because I played them a lot as a kid. Total Anhilation wasn't very nostalgic because I played it comparatively less... BUT then I went back and played Starcraft and Dark Reign even more for nostalgic reasons.... and now even though Total Anhilation was barely nostalgic, it's now massively nostalgic to me compared to Starcraft and Dark Reign, because I sucked the Nostalgia out of them by overplaying them.
