- In preparation for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown I decided to go through every single entry in the franchise and give a brief, spoiler-free overview. Hopefully this will convince new people to check out these fantastic games and understand why the newest entry is so important. It’s a return to ‘Strangereal’, the original continuity that is beloved by fans for its memorable characters and poignant storytelling.

You might wanna check out their bitchute while you're approving this vid. From two years ago I guess
One of the soundtrack from ace 4 is a huge meme
"Think of Metal Gear Solid, but with aircraft"
That's what I literally think of while playing this game.
You are not alone actually..
Sol 1 also known as Discount big boss
Me too.... But it has this ridge racer vibe too...
I honestly compare most games to Metal Gear.
I don't know... how about... Initial D with dogfighting?
We Ace Combat and DMC fans have a couple things in common. Like waiting over 10 years for the next main entry in the series and having a spinoff/reboot that caused a lot of controversy between the fans.
I was thinking the same thing the other day. Hopefully both will have good sales so we can relive the greatness of mid-2000s PS2 games.
Seriously, from the awesome highs of the PS2 days to the lows in the PS3/360 era to bouncing back. Both fanbases have gone through a lot.
ironically both of them have fantastic merits to them.
DMC Devil May Cry had the best level design (and in my opinion the best overall package of the entire series), even if the combat was a little too damn simple.
AC:AH while a little too railroady was damn intense and really made you feel the strength/power of these aircraft when they were in the right hands.
Both got a heap of shit wrong, but what they got right completely overshadows it.
@@katanafourzeronine I love Assault Horizon
Ruby Dia Oerba Same with us World at war fans, they teased a remaster when reznov was in the black-ops game.
Little did we know how important Ace Combat 7 would be for the series, it not only would gain the respect back fork old fans but also brought a ton of new fans in as well.
Well yes, that tends to happen when you don't limit your game to a single platform. I'm betting it will be the same for Armored Core very soon.
@@Nasfeliawhat about AC8 which was just confirmedv
@@thesovietvorona1007 That remains to be seen I guess. Who knows what they'll do with the next entry.
@@Nasfelia hopefully something like infinity without limited fuel
I swear to God that I only knew what is an Ace combat game from the 7th installment and from that to doing my research on Fandom and mourning Trigger for getting court martialed for a felony that he didn't :/
I remember playing AC0 as a child and truly believing that Belka was a real place. Feels so crazy now 16 years later still playing AC7 waiting for the next title.
Belka Strangereal is Germany IRL
@@brilliantradience nah, not even funni moustache man's Germany nuked their own country 10x over because they're butthurt from losing a war.
"There's no fiddling around in your cockpit with about, 100 different knobs..."
George Takei: left the game.
Savage but funny. XD
George takei:Ohhhh myyyyyy

The Ace Combat deserves more recognition, and you definitely help with that
It evolved so much did it
I'm the 380th like!
“Did you know... there are three kinds of aces? Those who seek strength. Those who live for pride. And those who can read the tide of battle. Those are the three. And him... He was a true ace.”
The Belkan War is still my favourite Ace Combat
Yo Buddy. Still Alive?
And thanks...
I LOVE some of the nonsense that reporter talks. My favourite line is how he's not even sure if this Ace actually existed, and then says, I interviewed someone who met him.
Also, the soundtrack for Zero is an absolute banger. Flamenco guitar, while you tango your way with the final boss, is one of the only soundtracks to get me to yell at my screen hype during a boss fight.
ngl, AC Zero was the best AC series ever.
You can say the same for all the numbered titles, most spin-offs and of course Zero.
Are you an anime-esque rock/metal fan? AC1, 2, 7, and Assault Horizon got you covered
You like techno? AC3
Orchestra? AC4-6
Maybe a bit of all? Infinity and Zero. Maybe X too.
Woulda been better if there was more variation though, most of the songs sounded similar to me
As someone who did not like the final boss fight, the music made it way more tolerable.
"But you do have one very RELIABLE buddy"
...ahahaha...
Well at least Pixy alone was mote useful than all AC7 wingmen combined. He actually shot things down and quite often, so ge IS reliable in some sort of things...
What happened next is classified
Ahahaha yeah....
@@nickcher7071 I've seen wingmen shoot down maybe three planes in my two AC7 playthroughs. They were so much more useful in the previous games ;-;
It still hurts, just want him back by my side
@@ivarent3784 I miss him too 😔 the things I'd do to let him know I'm still alive...
8:13
wasn't expecting that audio. My heart skipped and my eyes lit up. This is the game that started it all for me as a kid.
Same! That intro is absolutely epic.
Bruhhhhh I thought I'm the only one.
I have special spots in my heart for both Zero and 4, lost count how many time I spent playing them after school. Good times.
Same it was my first console game
Same. I get goosebumps every time I hear it
I just played it this year and even I got excited when I heard it. 😄
Shattered Skies was my first entry into the series, and is one of my favorite childhood games. The graphics hold up well even today.
and also the trailer played blurry by puddle of mudd towards the end of it.
@@willhuey4891 I thought that was 5's trailer song.
Nice to hear, Mobius 1.
Would love to see 4, 5 and Zero remastered to PS4/5 standards
Same bro
I liked Assault Horizon. Not as an Ace Combat game but as a game in general. It was stunningly gorgeous, you got to fly helicopters and heavy bombers and it felt a little more gritty and less anime-esque. Not that anime-esque is a bad thing at all, it was just different. I think if it'd been sold without the Ace Combat name attached to it it would've been better received by the arcade flight sim community.
Also Zero had, by far, the best soundtrack of the franchise.
I also loved the complex customization mechanics! How you can unlock new skins and customize them to whatever color you wanted!
ACZ had them spicy guitars
@@KILLERMEXICAN210 one year late, and no 5 had the best soundtrack. Followed very, and I mean EXTREMELY close by with zero.

@@collinmanning8334 Trigger vs Mobius 1
Ace Combat 4 was my first taste in the series. I think 5 was my favorite.
Ace combat has never taken itself too seriously…and I believe that’s why it’s been around for so long.
I think that's also one of the reasons why Tom Clancy's HAWX series failed too. The games took themselves too seriously. It also didn't help that the 2nd game was actually more worse than the first.
I grew up with ACE 3 Electrosphere, and even though it was just the standard international version, my brother ad I made up our own story about the game.
However, years later when I decided to play another ace combat game, I had no idea what I was in for. It was The Belkan War, and was blown away by how good it was. The story, the gameplay, and it's vibe was just so cool.
same! It was actually my first game on PS1 full stop. Solidified my love for gaming and flying. I remember spending hours of my adolescence drawing side-profile views of the R101 Delphinus and the SU37 Super Flanker.
Now I'm curious as to what you and your brother made up for the story. Especially considering what the story the rest of the world missed out on was!
@@Sorain1 It was rudimentary, but we imagined we were stopping supervillains who had these powerful Blimps, there was a space race we ensured our side won, and we were on a mission of vengeance for the floating city, and UI4054 and X-49 were husband and wife. At the end we thought Aliens were behind it all, with the weird hacking sound in the last two missions including the XR900's.
@@corneliusmaze-eye2459 Gotta love 'filling it in yourself' eah?
Ace Combat 3 (american version) was the 1st game of this franchise then i played too.
Yo buddy! You still alive? Namco Bandai needs to remaster the PS2 trilogy.
ShadowBaofu

They need to remaster ps1 trilogy as well. And that ac2 whatever doesn't count.
Ace Combat 3: *forever alone*
AC3 needs attention more than the PS2 trilogy.
Together with ace combat x
Skies Unknown introduced me to the series, now I need to play them all, such a masterpiece.
Ace combat 5 was the first Ace combat i've played, and i was hooked right away. It made me realise that aircraft games was a hidden box i hadn't opened yet.
That AC4 intro gives me the feels every time, I love that game to death
*Me:* _Listens to AC5 soundtrack regularly_
00:42
*Me:* ALL PLANES, RETURN TO YOUR COMBAT AIR PATROL STATIONS! _DEFEND THE CARRIERS!_
Man I love Ace Combat 6 and the soundtrack especially chandelier man..
@@Halcyon_games solitary
Morgan Towns hell yeah I love chandelier
Ah man, the good old St. Hewllet Port mission...when the music kicks in, you know this is the real deal
Say what you want about Ace Combat 6, but it's what got me into this amazing series in the first place. The gateway drug for flying jets to soaring soundtracks and taking down anime-level superweapons
BlueSnowfox yeah, the AC6 hate is stupid. It has the best gameplay in the series, including AC7.
I got into in from ac infinity
Yea it was my first flying game I had trouble but I got the hang of it and it was great
People hate it because it was on Xbox 360. Personally I Loved the game.
@@theballinmario4247 well, tbf, It being on Xbox 360 REALY hurt its sale in japan(considering noone in Japan owned the bloddy thing)
Bro ace combat shattered skies was my childhood, hearing that music again gave me chills
Shattered skies was the one I started with so to me its the original one. Zero is my number one though to this day
th-cam.com/video/SGZJnLYvio0/w-d-xo.html
Me Hearing "I have so far to go" in this video (song is named Blue Skies I think) makes me go way back to middle school and early up to mid 2004 and the game. Such nostalgia and while I still have and play the game nothing will replace those 2004 days. I mean this game and just simply middle school and tv shows I use to be into back then I just miss that. Even with the game or DVD of said TV show which I do have can't compare to when it was all brand new to me. Ace Combat 4 is still my favorite with Zero being second. I still think 5 is best overall even now that 7 is out but nothing will change 4 being my #1 favorite.
15:56 I just love that sound. Ace Combat 6 was my game as a kid! I also enjoyed playing Ace Combat 5 as well.
I can't wait to tell my son about this!
Drunken Reaper just don’t tell him about mission 18
I can’t wait for a burger
Never tell him about Assault Horizon or he will get Stage 4 brain cancer from its shitty plot and shitty everything about it.
@@outrunno4563 damn dude really? Think about what you just said
@@iexist2682 have you gotten the burger yet?
Welp, I think I'm convinced to give this franchise a shot. It reminds me a little bit of MechWarrior, but in the air and, you know, 100% more anime. And damn, that rockin' 90's soundtrack is absolute gold.
CloudConnection MechWarrior
YES
As an Ace Combat fan since 3, and a Mechwarrior fan since 2:Mercs, I can wholly recommend Ace Combat to you. Recommendation: Play the Holy Trinity of 04, 5 and Zero. We call that the Holy Trinity for a reason.
@@kazzsaru Noted. I've only ever really played MechWarrior 2 and 4: Mercenaries but they left quite a large impact on me. I'll definitely have to try the Trinity out sometime.
It’s been a year, have you given it a go yet?
If you've never played an Ace Combat game, let alone the Big 3 (4 5 & 0) then you've played nothing worth it.
I started on ace combat 4 and fell in love with the series. The only games I’ve missed were the first games on ps1. Which I’m emulating soon to play.
My personal absolute favorite is Ace Combat 5 the Unsung War.
Adam B we have the same taste
That feelings when you read the enemy pilot afraid to fly cause they know you are The R.
@@JOEL00111 this is exactly me, started on Ac4 but Ac5 is my all time favorite
When you reach Electrosphere and the music hits....
Played AC5 so much when Zero came out I recognized the landscape without the nuclear fallout. And I cried when Chopper was downed. 8(
Still playing A.C: Skies of Deception on my old but working PSP. I just love it. I still enjoy it whenever i play it again. I am wandering bying the lastest one.
Just to let ya know the new one has A lot of Features left out
I still play AC skies of deception on my psp and it is one of the best AC out there
10:30 in AC3 you could select other weapons and aircraft depending on the mission, so AC4 was not the first
Even in the american version can do that.
For all of Assault Horizons flaws, the track "Dogfight" is still a banger
daredevil is the new top ace combat track. everybody loves that one
General Kenobi I’ll have to check it out. Thanks
Horizon may have had it's flaws but it had the most engaging gameplay of the series
True that!
Honestly a lot of the music in it is pretty solid.
Nahhh Zero is still on top thanks to the setting, but yeah Daredevil is second now.
I was pleasantly surprised with skies of deception on PSP. It takes place in strange real and the game itself is very similar to the PS2 games with gameplay.
"Time to dance with the angels!"
I fucking love 6, but "May the golden king smile upon us" was so much better than "dance with the angels" Shame they only used it once.
NO. No. Shhhhh. Sh sh shh.
I skip all the cutscenes except for the derpfaces in the tank. The gameplay of 6 was great and the in-mission characters (namely Snake Pit and the captain of the Marigold) were awesome, but those cutscenes were _garbage_
Ding
OOZ662 The Marigold admiral had a great voice actor. Ship missions were always fun too.
OOZ662 the cutscenes were pretty good in my opinion.
Holy shit man you sold me on this franchise. It sounds and looks like a ton of fun. I never knew the series had its own universe and world building. I'm a sucker for that sort of stuff, and plus it gameplay seems way more fun than I might have assumed. (Thought it was more flight sim before)
Great video overall, I really liked the way you transitioned from game to game btw lol.
I think I was in the same boat at one point with dimissing it because it's a flight game. I don't think this series is really talked about enough, and it absolutely should be! It should be held up as one of those classic video game franchises and yet it seems to only have this very niche yet dedicated fanbase. It doesn't help that the flight genre is full of consumers who want what I call 'grueling realism', and kind of turn their nose up at these more video gamey kind of flight games.
SnicketySlice Also most “Good Flight games” are only on PC shake my head
8:13 the start of the intro gave me amazing childhood flashbacks
Same here.Its my first AC btw
@@chillguynamedwan1034 same :), its actually my first console game ever
This series holds a special place for me, despite me having only actually played two of its games.
I played Air Combat [1995] on PS1, and I sometimes sat down and played a campaign runthrough in one sitting, more times than I can count. It was the first time I truly learned to 'fly' an aircraft, stick proper and all.
I played Ace Combat Zero on PS2, and it just took my love of aviation further.
I always had a fascination with flying, aerospace, movies, games, books, all sorts, but this game series was the catalyst, and now, I'm training to become a flight instructor, admittedly one of the few jobs liable to less affected in aviation by covid-19.
I may not have played the entire series, but I will forever be grateful for getting a rental of Air Combat from Blockbuster video all those years ago winter 2000, before eventually buying my own copy.
After understanding the lore of the series, I see now that the devs really loved Area 88.
I missed this franchise so much... Some of my fondest memories from the PS2 times came from AC4, AC5 and Zero
I actually like assault horizon a lot I don't categorize it with my other ace combat games since it's completely different game style. But the pros of it for me was the ability to pilot helicopters and actual bombers. Also I like the overhead bomber view, it reminds me of my favorite mission from CoD 4
8:50 yo look at that head turn, he's an owl
I wonder what is the music name tho 8:15
@@amychan811 blue skies
You sold me! I'm gonna play Ace Combat 7 now (RIP wallet and free time). I didn't realize how many Ace Combat games came out.
And now, how was it?
I hope you enjoyed it as much as i did :) the only thing missing was a co op mode
@@victuz it is awesome i play this game since release and there are so awesome moments in the game but the story is a bit weak
but you will feel like this one awesome pilot who change the course of a war
so i used the word awesome 3 times this means you have to give it a try
@@maximilianschmitz9397 if you thought the storyline was lacking, see if you can nab a copy of Airforce Delta Strike for the PS2. It's a similar plot as AC7 with space and secret alien meanie, but a really fleshed out plot.
@@maximilianschmitz9397 I've acquired AC7 soon after asking that question.
No regrets. My only complaint would be story, it lacks flavour and deepness, but if Bandai Namco is willing to invest more on the franchise for future titles, then I can turn a blind eye for the AC7's story issues.
ah zero the belkan war my favorite game of the series i still pull out the ps2 sometimes for this game
Me too. It's my favorite to this day. It had a real positive impact in my life too
AC04 was the first Ace Combat i've played and (together with the Holy Trinity altogether) it holds a very dear place in my heart until this very day.
I've even imported the OST directly from Japan because i loved it that much.
8:19 aaaaaaaaand there's the goosebumps
Thanks for the review. I did not know there are that many titles out there claiming Ace Combat.
After playing "Turn and Burn: No-Fly zone" on the SNES back in the days, I got me a Playstation 1.
"Air Combat" was the first combat flight simulator I got back then.
It was a real step-up for me, and I still have good memories playing it with my younger brother. :)
I was introduced to the series with Fires of Liberation years after its released, and I was blown away with its game play, story and OST. I fell in love with 6, and finished 7 shortly after that one came out. I gotta say, Ace Combat and MGS are two of my favorite series
I feel like I'm the weird one for Skies of Deception being my favorite even though it's a portable title. Idk why. The gameplay, missions, aircraft, realism, sci fi, player freedom, and story were just all spot on for me. I can't believe that I put hundreds and hundreds of hours on my PSP just for that game.
No it’s Definitely A looked over Gem !
I’d say it’s even better than Zero because of Features, Flight Model, 6 Colors, Option to Change Craft From Pause Screen
I got to play AC3: Electrosphere in my PS1... childhood memories...
My onyl experience with this series thus far has been Ace Combat 6. I actually loved it.
My man here playing F-16 Aggressor in 00:42.
Almost had me flashbacking to 2005, took me a couple of years to find out how to fire a missile in that game (english ain't my first language, so it took me some time to learn stuff).
What game is this if you don’t mind me asking?
Love how the SAAB Draken manages to have a worse turn time in an arcade game then in a partial simulator like War Thunder
note to anyone that’s gonna give ace combat 7 a shot. when in multiplayer, please do not spam those qaam missiles. thank you
Months later and I still haven't tried the online multiplayer for the game.
SnicketySlice oh trust me it was way better in the first two months. not a lot of qaam users. now there’s about 4-6 f-22 no matter the game mode.
@@mrnissan3262 I just my xo-2 wyvern
Hehehehehe
Take a Mig-31, max the speed, don't stop for anything, fire LAAMs at extreme range, and don't forget to mine all the salt while you outrun every missile fired at you.
Oh gosh, so much to talk about. First off, the Belkan war was among my favourite titles, the live action cutscenes were such a nice touch. Assault Horizon didn't have the heart of the franchise, and didn't play as well, but you have to admit it did look stunning...
Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies was one of the first games I ever played. We were low income so we didn't even get the ps2 until the ps3 was out. Naturally, lacking many games, I played it to 100% completion and replayed it for quite some time. Hearing that intro soundtrack sent a shiver down my spine and I love it. I found Ace Combat 7 to be amazing and a wonderful return to form for the gameplay
Can't tell you how many times i played the ac5 story. It was so damn good and kept me repeating it over and over again.
Ace Combat Zero is the game that brought me into the series
AC2 for me.
Brother. We must destroy. BELKA
Me too. 🙋
It's still my favorite in the whole series
Me too
As a long time fan of the series I can say that 7 was a successful return to what 4, 5, and zero gave us, which was indeed the feeling of a great solo ace pilot and a good story to go with it. If there ever is an 8 they would be wise to stay with strangereal
Yeah maybe a follow up to 7 or maybe a recall ti old Acea. I want mobius 1 back in moderna strangereal
Oh man, once the Ace Combat 4 intro started…cue the nostalgia!! So many hours in that game I cannot even begin to guess how many times I played it all the way through! Hell of a job on the video!!
Bro! When that ace combat 4 soundtrack hit I got PUMPED! Man I miss that game, my first ace combat game
I played through Ace Combat 4 so many times between 2004 to 2006. It was such a fun game. Until this video, I had completely forgotten there was a 3rd person view. I think it's time I dust off my copy and play it again.
Ace Combat 4 is where I started and I have been hooked on the series ever since!
You mentioned how it was a big deal that your character is regarded as a legend and they really did that great in 7
That PS2 run of Ace Combat games brings back some of the best feelings of my childhood - 4, 5, & 0 - finally decided to jump back in with 7 recently and so far I've got the same goosebumps
The three arrow heads emblem from AC4 is free DLC.
Damn, now I remember the friggin ace combat I first played, which is Zero, i friggin loved it when I was like 7, now im a 17 year old guy enjoying Skies Unknown
You still alive?..budy...
GO DANCE WITH THE ANGELS.
Hell yeah ac6 was cool too dammit!
the razgriz does not dance
It had a great soundtrack! I enjoyed the story too!
A very lovely introduction effort into every part of this flight simulator franchaise! Thank you!
Bought lately almost all of those games on japanese market. Really love the 3rd part and guess im pretty ready to get aknown with another parts :D
It's not a simulator
@@royalthegleaves6351 Do you feel better about your self ?
Your hope was well placed, I was a small kid when i first played ace combat on the ps2 with my dad, and always hoped to get something like that back one day, and they certainly hit the spot with ace combat 7, can´t stop playing it. Excelent video
I have a confession I’ve only played ac7 and assault horizon at least I played ac7 with the Flight stick and throttle which is more realistic and fun tbh. But I watch full campaigns of all ace combats
>tfw can't use flight stick because left handed :(
Crud well when your a fighter pilot I bet it’d be easier becuase I think there in between your legs and the throttled on the right or left depending on cockpit
I want a stick throttle.
AC5 is hands down one of the best storyline game ever! I still play it just for that!
a very informative and useful video. great job!
I picked up ace combat in AC4, i loved it ever since. Thanks for making this video,
I'll never forget the day my friend put Ace Combat 4 in his new PS2. That entire game is legendary.
I remember being at my dad's and finding it with his PS2 he had bought a year or two ago back in 2016. My first introduction into it and I fell in love with it the moment I loaded the first mission up. Was so good I got genuinely hyped to play Ace Combat 7, despite only playing one game in the series
00:00 "issommo bee free yeh"
This is my absolute favorite video game series of all time. I have owned and played every game in the series. I appreciate this video. Awesome content. Thanks for making this!!
This was really cool thank you for putting this together
Unsung War was my favorite. The intro is engrained in my main frame
I’ve always loved ACAH’s theme. It really took me into the game
I started at ACE Combat 4 and have been hooked ever since.
GREAT video and review. One of my favorite franchises ever. Can’t wait for the next one.
2025
I remember playing the psp one so much, i had to get extras of it.
AC 5 was my entry, after that ac4, then The Belkann war. Fan ever since.
Unbelievable! Wow. I weit so long on a video like this!!! Thank you!
Thanks for this man, you convinced me to pick up an offer for 4 and 5 on the PS2!
I started playing Ace Combat with #3...The stories are incredible
i love how everybody shares their memories about this masterpiece game
You explained the series brilliantly and I thank you. I loved the series during the PS2 days. I played Ace Combat 7 and was somewhat pleasantly surprised by the return to the good days, but it just wasn't the same.
That Ace Combat 4 soundtrack hit me hard with nostalgia. Nice vid.
Great video. It's a pity the world didn't get to enjoy the original version of 3. I was stationed in Japan and since I was still pretty new there new nothing of the language. Needless to say I had no idea what the hell I was doing or which choice was the best etc.. I think it holds the title of my most replayed game trying to play every branching decision. Plus that space mission was unforgettable. I also remember the Namco team coming to tour my ship in preparation for Ace Combat 4. The USS. Kittyhawk is Japans template for when they need to create an aircraft carrier. And as someone who led the ships fire department I wasn't exactly thrilled watching her sink in Ace Combat 5 and Macross Zero.
There's a fan made english patch for Japanese version 3lectrosphere, you should try it
Why isn’t this Comment Highlighted ?
Luichin Playstation
Can’t you just Amazon it ? The Original AC3 ?
The 3DS maneuvers reminds me of the Sky Crawlers game's maneuvers.
That was also Project Aces so I guess it makes sense.
0:00 - 0:42 .. Invoke theme from Ace Combat 2. Damn that brought back memories. Still to this day my personal favorite entry with quite possibly the best overall soundtrack top to bottom.
Ace Combat 1 & 2 are Very Nostalgic Even if you never played them !!
That's just how good they are as Classics In general !!
As an Ace Combat fan since i was a child, starting with the ps2 era games and falling in love with them, i never stopped being a hardcore fan since, and i approve this video, you summarized every game pretty well, and im glad it has gotten much attention as the ace combat series is very underrated.
Ever since I played AC7, I've been wanting to play more Ace Combat games. Specifically, AC6 and Zero just for the music and story respectively
Assault horizon was a great game. I loved the diversity of the missions as one mission you're flying a F22 and the next a B-1 lancer. Im kinda sad i didn't see that in skies unknown
Me too, plus flying the Apache in a couple of missions, manning a Black Hawk's Minigun in a couple more and even the one in which you man the guns of an AC-130U...the bomber mission is certainly one of my faves...getting to rain hell from above with a good ol' carpet bombing run...good times...
@@SuperHornetPilot yeah and the one mission where you flew strike bombers like the NightHawk or the Frogfoot to destroy the enemy fleet
@@Not_Noodl Ah yes, including a Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier that took a few ASM runs to fully take out...I usually flew the Su-34 on that one.
As soon as he mentioned ace combat 4 I was so happy, that game started my childhood
