The best year for gamers ever.

[quote=Luther3000][quote=Dotter] I remember my first PS1 game was Croc. I loved that game :D And also the first FIFA game, I played that al lot with my brothers and dad.. [/quote] My first game was Final Fantasy VII, although I got Crash Bandicoot 2 for free with the console. I remember I found it with my dad at a car boot sale and he pointed to the picture of Midgar on the back of the box thinking it was a spaceship, since at the time I was especially interested in space and sci-fi stuff (oh wait, I still am). I was fucking terrible at it, it took me forever to beat the first boss, and when I did I thought I had finished the entire game. So many epic memories and my music folder has a ton of Final Fantasy soundtracks in it. Also, Dragon Age 2 fans, you sicken me to the very soul. :P[/quote]

[quote=Dotter]Games back then were often harder, but the satisfaction of defeating a tough boss was way better than in the easy casual games, you so often see today.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]To be fair I thought FF2 was hard, 10 years passed, and I played it and it was so easy I needed coffee to stay awake :P[/quote]

[quote=Fox Rage]Go back in time. The best years of video game were the SNES, NES, Genesis, N64 and Dreamcast. Those were good time. Graphics destroied the video game industries. But that's just IMO First game I ever bought : Super Smash Bros on the N64. It just came out, and me and my brother splitted the price between us. I remember I used all the money I had from my birthday. It was a good investment.[/quote]

I wasn't old enough when the SNES was out either, but I've still played FF4-6 and Chrono Trigger. I have some more I've been meaning to get around to eventually.[/quote]
