Playing certain 2600 games always takes me back to when I was around 8~10. Donkey kong, fishing derby, laser blast, space caverns, and warlords. Most other 2600 games affect me in a similar manner, but to a lesser degree (even if I had never played the game previously).
SMB3 makes me think of tiny toons & the simpsons album (ie, "do the bartman" ), when I was about 15.
Bonk's revenge on TG16 makes me think of ozzy osborne's "no rest for the wicked" album (because I used to play it while playing the game). Especially listening to fire in the sky while playing the level where you have to go up the tower.
Super pinball: behind the mask on SNES (especially the first of the 3 tables) makes me think of barrenness, loneliness, and depression, as well as old tool songs/videos (which likewise make me think of depression, etc). Something with the scenes & the background music/sounds are very dismal & depressing, a very bad game to play alone late at night (the tool videos are the same way).
Not a specific game, but the sega channel takes me back. It reminds me of sitting there in the morning, alternately playing sega (genesis), watching xuxa, watching power rangers, and watching reruns of garfield & friends.
