  • Mega Man 3 which was , at the time, the only title I owned. I remember taking the Nintendo Power issue to a friends sleepover when it came out. I played that game over and over so many times.

    Super Mario 64 was a snow day ritual for myself and a friend. I had finished it and helped him beat the game little by little when we didn’t have school.

    Final Fantasy 7 is another. I was blown away by the FMV at the time and stayed up all night playing it which was not something I did regularly even that young. I also played through that game a half dozen times.

    It’s cool how thinking of those games, or even playing them now, takes me back to exactly where I was at that point in time.


  • I also quit playing in April 2022. I remember reading somewhere about how mobile games like these keep you playing, with incentives like daily logins, etc. So I decided to not play for a week to see if I missed it at all. I never went back to it for the simple reason I shouldn’t have to do daily “maintenance” to enjoy a game for just a weekend.

    I do know people who enjoy the game more casually, which is what approach I wish I had taken with it. I feel for those employees who are losing their jobs and wish them speedy employment elsewhere.
