Getting Involved With The RPG Video Game Genre For The First Time.
I recently had a great conversation with one of my best friends. We were talking about how we got involved with RPG Gaming for the first time. It came up when my friend was getting ready to put his final fantasy I hack on an actual NES game cartridge.
I thought about it for a while and it was actually by accident I got into RPG Games. The First RPG game I ever played was actually Dragon Warrior back in 1990. I was only 10 years old at the time, and majority of the games I had played for my NES were mainly side scrollers. What really peaked my interest for Dragon Warrior is when I seen the commercial for Dragon Warrior on TV. Here is the actual commercial:
I asked my dad if he ever seen the game at the local video game store to rent it for me over the weekend. When I first played it I didn't get very far. As soon as I started to fight some of the skeleton monsters I found the game way too hard and I swore to myself I would never play a game like that again. Fast forward a few months and I had a subscription to Nintendo Power and one of the magazines I got the Nintendo Power Strategy Guide For Final Fantasy. This is a picture of the actual magazine.  As soon as I seen this guide and started to read through it I was automatically addicted to it. Unfortunately during that time to find a copy of final fantasy in a town of only 3000 people was next to near impossible. I never had a chance to play the game in itself until 1992, when I went to see my aunt. I only had a weekend to play it and I only got as far as the marsh cave. I never actually had a chance to own my own copy of the game and beat it until 1996. Between 1992 and 1996 I was already involved into rpg gaming. Even though we didn't have a great library. I already had played Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, Breath Of Fire and action RPG's such as Soul Blazer and Actraiser. Through those games and finally playing/finishing the first final fantasy after 6 years of its original release really satisfied and flourished my interest toward RPG's in general. So to members of the Gamingforce community how did you get involved with the RPG Gaming for the first time. Jam it back in, in the dark.
