Nostalgic Moments in Gaming: A Trip Down Memory Lane

People say that blowing into cartridges or hitting a tv to "make it work again" never helped, but how can that be true? If it didnt help, then explain why EVERYONE did it back then! I had an Atari 2600 when I was a kid and blowing in the cartridges ALWAYS made them work. For me, it wasnt a console, but a combo of a console AND a game. When I was 4, for christmas, my parents had bought me one of those big ol' Gameboys, along with 3 games: The Final Fantasy Legend, Super Mario Land 1 and Doctor Mario. I wasnt very good at DM, but I clearing SML countless times, I cleared it so many times that I knew the whole game by heart and was able to clear the whole thing twice in less than an hour without dying even once! For TFFL, oh my gosh.... I didnt know english very well back then (my primary language is french), so it took me MONTHS before I was able to even reach the 1st big boss! I did a bunch of random stuff and bam! One day I discovered that I had to give 3 pieces of special gear to the statue in the middle of the village to summon the boss. It took me forever to find the boss, so when he appeared, I killed the poor thing with just one attack! I was like "......Thats it?" 🤣😂😂🤣 I had tons of fun with that game and its thanks to it that I love RPGs so much today! ✦.✦ For the LAN parties, I never participated in those. Heck, I didnt even know groups like that existed in the first place! 😭😭 Yes! Yes! Yes! Epic boss battles! Sephiroth, like you mentioned, but also Kefka, Lavos, Julius/Vandole, Goddess/Tyr are awesome boss fights that comes to mind. Those were sooooo much fun! The godly bgm and all those epic skill animations made the fights INCREDIBLE! In todays video games, youll never see skill animations on par with Knights of the Round or Sephiroth's Super Nova, am I right? Yes! Secrets are a thing that a LOT of RPGs lack nowadays. Finding secret ages by interacting with random walls in dungeons, secret treasure chambers only accessible by falling into pitfall traps, secret enemies/bosses, etc. Im someone who just LOVE to explore dungeons and similar places, so the lack of those things really makes me angry sometimes! Oh but do you know whst makes me even angrier? Those "dungeons" with just ONE SINGLE PATH! Oh my gosh.... Those are infuriating!! 🤬🤬 How can they call that 💩 a dungeon when theres no secrets, no mazes, no ambushes, no traps.... NOTHING... nothing but a boring linear path and maybe one or 2 goblins in plain view?? Geh.... Of course, OSTs that goes well with the map and scenes are essential as well! 🤤 Hidden "cheats" are also fun from time to time! I finding a "Super Sonic" cheat code for Sonic 2 when I was a kid. Going twice as fast as the regular Sonic made the game slightly more challenging! It was fun! ✦.✦ For local MP, I rarely had the chance to experience that, unfortunately. I did play Golden Eye 007 once with a friend though. It was pretty chaotic but darn we had fun! ✦.✦ Thanks for making such a fun post! 😁 I really prefer these kinda posts rather than the serious posts like that other one about gacha games that I replied to the other day. Serious posts makes me nervous for some reason and I end up not being able to explain myself correctly. 😮‍💨
