This is really the tip of the iceberg. I remember my math grades suffered because I'd play Final Fantasy instead of doing my homework. That game was groundbreaking.
But most of all, I miss how kids would just randomly get together to "play Nintendo" and bring whatever cartridges they had. It was like a party, and there was always that one kid who had all of the games.
It still boggles my mind that Super Mario movie is a thing that exists. Cinema peaked with that, and it's been all downhill since then.
Final Fantasy 1 was so fun! I didn't have it as a kid, but I bought it on the Wii virtual shop back when that was a thing.
It was rough to get through because I didn't know what I was doing (had a bad party comp, I think), but I somehow managed to beat it. Still one of my favorite gaming experiences.
Oddly enough, I replayed it years later by buying it on the Wii shop after someone gave me their used Wii. That was the only game I ever played all the way through on Wii before giving it to someone else lol
It was a good time, and I'm glad I played it that way rather than the DS remake. It was HARD.
Just think of how hard it seemed in 1990. We'd never played a game like that before!
it was huge, endless. impossible to understand. I played Dragon Warrior as well, and felt similar. "omg a new town!" "ahhh a wyvern?! whats that??"
