A game which is close to your heart?

The very first Sonic the Hedgehog, it was the first video game I owned and played as a kid. My cousins had a copy of the game first, and I remember when they taught me the level select code. I still know it by heart to this day too. I remember not being able to make it past Green Hill Zone but once I finally did I was very happy. That's how my love for gaming started, and without Sonic I probably would have never been a gamer tbh.
