Elmo in Numberland was my first game, though I suppose my first "real" game was something like Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 for the Gameboy.
I recently went back to play the Elmo game and I feel like it connected a lot of dots for me. The environments in the game are empty and bizarre, the music is blaring but at the same time eerily quiet, and the mix of the kid-friendly feel with the uncanniness of it all is cool. It was a nice moment of nostalgia, I feel like it was a glimpse into the beginnings of my current tastes and I felt for a moment that I could almost remember what child me was thinking/feeling.
