*My brother and I walking around toys r us going through the game section...me being 12, and my brother 17 years old at the time. Shortly before school starting back up in august 1995.*

We were just walking around, talking about what some of our friends said about whatever new games we was looking at on the walls (back when toys r us did that slip thing where you take a slip with the picture of the game you wanted up to the desk so they can get it for you), and there it was....chrono trigger.

Mind you, neither of us knew what the fuck the game was about, and even the really cool box art did not ring any bells of the artist since neither of us knew what the fuck a dragonball was, let alone akira toriyama. We both really liked rpgs though, and we at least knew squaresoft's name was on the box, since final fantasy 3(6), secret of mana, and illusion of gaia really kicked ass. I guess my brother was feeling adventures with his then new fast food job money that point, because he was like "man lets check this out, it might be good".

Anywho, my bro buys it, we eventually get home, and I watched him fire chrono trigger up.....man what neither of us knew at the time was that this game was going to straight up consume our lives for a good month. (Got to remember, this is 1995, and while my bro did buy the game we was still a bit too cheap to buy a guide majority of the time, so we goin' in blind). God damn that has to be the second most memorable blind game purchase for either of us. Chrono trigger will always have that special place of being that one rpg that not only us but practically every 1 we knew was hooked to. (Of course some friends asked to mooch the game for a bit since that was what friends did back in those days).

(My number 1 favorite blind game purchase is phantasy star online on the dreamcast)
