What childhood gaming experience do you desperately wish someone would bring back?

Hello, everyone, well... i can tell Im an indie developer (or trying xD) planning to build a new browser game, but instead of spending months creating something nobody asked for... I want to start by listening to players :)

Im not asking which old game should be remade or copied.

I want to know:

What specific feeling, mechanic or experience from your childhood games seems to have disappeared?

Maybe it was:

  • Coming home from school and entering a small online world where everyone knew each other
  • Raising creatures and becoming genuinely attached to them
  • Building a town that slowly grew over several weeks
  • Discovering secrets without tutorials or markers everywhere
  • Playing simple browser games that were immediately fun
  • Trading, competing or cooperating with a small community
  • A game that felt mysterious, lonely, cosy or slightly unsettling
  • Something completely different

Please mention:

  1. The game or era that gave you that feeling
  2. What made it special
  3. What a modern version should keep or improve

I will collect the most repeated and interesting answers, turn them into a few realistic game concepts and return with prototypes for the community to test.

The final game would be playable in a browser with no download required.

So: what game experience from your childhood are you still waiting for someone to recreate properly? :D

⚡ TEAM YELLOW / INSTINCT CALL TO ARMS ⚡

Well... i dont know if this allowed in the sub but... i will explain for the gym coordinates:
37.583670,-8.660153 what i need to someone..

This is a gym here where almost nobody lets Yellow stay alive 😂
People literally bully Team Instinct and wipe us out instantly.

I’m asking fellow Yellow warriors to help me turn this gym yellow, even if only for a few glorious minutes.

Drop 5–6 strong defenders if you dare.
I don’t know how you’ll do it, but if you somehow can… respect 😂⚡

Warning: you probably won’t survive more than 5 minutes there 😭

This is basically a challenge now.

Any Instinct players willing to fight for honor? ⚡🐤

Or give me tips how i can handle that.

Question about gym coordination posts (Team Instinct)

Hey everyone, quick question before I post anything 😅

Is it allowed in this subreddit to ask fellow trainers from the same team to help defend or temporarily take over a gym together?

I’m Team Instinct and there’s a local gym that basically never stays yellow for more than a few minutes, so I thought it could be a fun community challeng.... but I wanted to check the rules first before posting coordinates or anything.

Thanks ⚡
