On August 24th 1995, Windows '95 was released to the public. While it is not directly related to gaming, it did change the landscape of PC gaming from the DOS era, to API plug-ins like Direct X.
Huge part of my childhood right there, I see the logo and immediately get the chills. I played a lot of Lode Runner: The Legend Returns, The Incredible Toon Machine, SimTown and Duke Nukem 3D on this baby.
I honestly don't really have much nostalgia for Windows 95 myself. Sure, I remember using it on Pentium 90 machines at my highschool back then. But the first Windows OS that I owned was Windows 98, which in many ways was just an update on Windows 95. But yeah, Windows 95 was huge though.
I believe the release date for this game is actually October 2003, not August 2005.Aug. 25th, 2005
Game changer for the series introducing story, and walking traverse like an open world game.

One of my first PC Games on my ol' Pentium 120

Infinite Undiscovery, by developer Tri-Ace, released in North America for the Xbox 360.
Mistwalker in particular I thought was an interesting developer, responsible not only for Blue Dragon but also Lost Odyssey for the Xbox 360 and The Last Story for the Wii. I didn't even know they made Blue Dragon sequels for the DS.Microsoft smashed some RPGs around this time. Lost odyssey, blue dragon, infinite undiscovery and last remnant.

2002: Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA)
It's worth checking out. The music in it is bad though.The only GBA/DS ‘vania that I haven’t played. It got such a bad rap at the time. Is it worth going back to now?
Alongside the announcement, Iwata showed video footage from major figures including Konami's Hideo Kojima, who commented that the controller was "totally unexpected... [it] provides something brand new", and Dragon Quest's Yuji Horii, who commented that he "believed people will not hesitate to use this controller".
