Earthbound!
I took a bet with my dad to stand outside nearly naked for 10 minutes in winter. He said he'd give me 1000$. I lasted about one minute or so before it was too much and came in. Fast forward some weeks. We were taking a trip to Wal-mart. about an hour away (back in the days for me when there wasn't even one close...geez) I was allowed to pick out one game to get for the SNES. I must have spent about 3 hours looking at them, wondering if this one would be good or that one would be fun. It was the days when I'd get maybe one or two games a year, and picking like that was absolutely unheard of. I settled on Earthbound because it came in the rocking huge packaging, promising a player's guide and the game. I wanted an RPG, not really knowing what an RPG was, so I pretty much guessed what it was by the screenshots (it looked different from Final Fantasy 2 (IV)!). In the end, it has to be one of the most influential gaming decisions I've ever made. While I didn't pay for it myself, I didn't get an opportunity like that very often, and considering my age and the ignorance toward all things gaming at that point, I'm really lucky I didn't pick a shit game. Jam it back in, in the dark.
