Mine is the Army Men series. Objectively mediocre games at best but the concept of toy soldiers fighting over our yards and rooms has always been cool to me

    Gallop Racer (psx)

    It’s about racing and breeding horses.

    “Newer” titles of the series (ps2) also had the element of raising/training the horses.

    The collab with G1 Jockey on the PS3 also had those obstacle course racing included.

    My dad loved betting on horses (he got it from his father), and loved the game.

    It was simple game of racing horses with some fine details mixed in (when to gallop, correct positioning and timing, and etc.)

    The best thing about the series is that the list of horses are already laid out, so you know which ones are the strong ones in a particular course except for the secret horses that you only get through winning particular races in a particular order throughout the horse’s career.

    The endgame though is through breeding the horses, which is another element of euphoria when winning the genetic lottery.

    Sometimes when I miss it, I just play it on my phone (through an emulator) and it’s always been a fun experience.
