How old were you and maybe most importantly was it worth it ?

    Illusion of Gaia at an Alco for Christmas. A great SNES game. Graphics have aged very well and gameplay is still solid. It’s an ARPG like Zelda kind of. Lots of puzzles. Swap out your character for other heroes occasionally to tackle different puzzles/dungeons.

    I was pretty young, around 11. It was in the clearance bin, like 30 bucks. I was initially kind of disappointed because most of the games there we had or they sucked. But that one stuck out. Was definitely worth it.

    A couple Christmas(I was 13) later I got FF7 for PC. I had previously beaten 1 and 3(6). FF6 was great. I’d play that game start to finish in about 8 hrs. Which really isn’t that bad for 100% run.

    Then I got really into StarCraft (bnet) UMS games. Cat v mouse varieties were especially fun.
