I've got a really fond spot in my heart for The Neverhood. It really opened my young eyes to the possibility that video games could be weird and artistic. They didn't have to be an action packed generic mainstream capitalization of whatever is popular at the moment. As a kid, I could still tell it was a unique piece of work that required a lot of passion and creativity. I consider it the first indie game I ever played and it absolutely set the tone for what I chose to play to this day.

I still listen to the soundtrack nearly three decades later.

Thank you for mentioning this. My personal favorite was Skullmonkeys. High school in the ‘90s was a wild place.
