[General Discussion] Getting Involved With The RPG Video Game Genre For The First Time.

I was also one of the lucky people who got to play Dragon Warrior thanks to a subscription to Nintendo Power. I recall I didn't understand much of what was going on when I first played it. I was five and living in a french community at the time, so I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise that I didn't get much of what was being said. I do recall that when the first Final Fantasy came out, I thought it looked so cool after seeing my cousin play it that I asked my parents for it as a birthday present and pretty learned to read english while playing it.

From then on, I was hooked and played any RPG I could get my hands on: Crystalis, The Magic of Scherezade, D&D: Pool of Radiance, DW II,III,IV, Ultima, Wizardry and a bunch of others are all games I recall playing and for the most part enjoying before I went on to the SNES. I also remember we got a PC around that time and I played a bunch of PC RPGs though I couldn't recall their names for the life of me.

The game I have the fondest memory of though (besides FFI) has got to be Breath of Fire I. I had asked my parents for it on my tenth birthday and I promised to put my allowance money aside to pay for part of it. Now, we had to order the game through a Sears department store and it took longer to arrive than it was supposed to, so I remember getting it a week or two after my birthday. How sweet it was to finally play that game...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
