The cart said Final Fantasy 2. We now know it as Final Fantasy 4.
My father had my playing it and reading all the text out loud. I played that game over and over and over. I have all the hidden paths and treasures memorized.
The opening scrawl ended in something about Cecil and Kain vanishing “into a deep fog.” For years and years I thought it said they vanished “into a deep frog.” Let me tell you… the hours I spent lying awake at night wondering what that meant…
Mine was a point-click quest written in visual basic that taught Russian alphabet. I was 2-3 years old, playing while sitting on my father’s lap. Apparently this created some core memories since once I was 15-17 I found it and still remembered every dialogue word-to-word
Jump Man, Space Taxi, and Ghostbusters on Commodore 64. I was using that version of the Ghostbusters song as my ringtone for years, back when I got phone calls ;)
While I had probably already played a couple of counterfeit NES games at a friend’s house before that, the first 2 games I clearly remember playing on PC were Tux Racer (on my dad’s Linux setup) and Warcraft 2.
I loved how in Carnival if you could time it just right you could keep shooting the lowest bear in the bonus level and just keep him going back and forth like 20 times. Also the elusive diamond that would appear in a dropped apple in Mr. Do. I think I only had it happen twice ever in what seemed like thousands of games.
