Feeling reminiscent and wanted to share the feeling. I was born in 91 and had a pair of cousins a bit older than me. One of them gave me their gray brick Gameboy with Mario Land and Tetris. Those are the first games I remember playing.

That next Christmas my parents bought me a snes with Donkey Kong Country and Mario World. I would often rent Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow and other Disney games. I also remember finding Link to the Past at a yard sale and got as far as the dark world and after a few dungeons couldn't figure how to get into the dark world desert. After awhile my cousins would let me borrow their games and I got into Street Fighter 2 and Earthbound which was my first jrpg not long after playing that Pokmon came out and my love for jrpgs went into overdrive and I played every jrpg I could get my hands on even if I didn't fully understand some of the more complex ones I was learning quick.

Then the day came when I saw the older of the two cousins play Final Fantasy VII and I was enamored. It wouldn't be until around 2000 that I got a ps1 of my own and by that point there were more jrpgs than I could ever imagine and ps1 games were fairly cheap at the local pawn shop I ended up with all the ps1 FF titles including the collections of older games along with Chrono Trigger. Grandia, Legend of Dragoon and Final Fantasy IX became my favorite out of them.

Thank you if anyone read this and sorry for the poor grammar and punctuation. Wouldn't mind hearing your stories if you felt like sharing.
