Got gifted a SNES when I was 3 or 4. First games were Megaman X and Super Mario. Loved it. My grandfather also had a ton of arcade machines in his basement for me and my cousins to play so I attribute that to my love for gaming. Then had a PS1 where I played Crash Bandicoot, Tekken and Spyro. Oh and Frogger. Then also got a Gameboy Color and that’s when, of course, everyone got into Pokemon. My step brother had Blue and Yellow version while I had Red version. It wasn’t until much later I even learned there was a Gold/Silver version. I just remember going outside with some friends and he was playing and I heard some music I hadn’t heard before. He was in Goldenrod City. After that, the rest is history with PS2… I saw an ad on TV around Christmas time for Final Fantasy XII and completely become enamored with it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve played through that game, it’s easily my favorite FF title. I’ve even bought the remasters on every current console. Still have the Brady Games guide for it too. Also worth mentioning Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, more Tekken, Jak & Daxter series and lots more. PS2 era was a good time.
