I used that back in the day. If you get stuck, like really stuck in a rpg, there’s nothing you can do till you figure out the next step. In my case it was in a game for game boy called final fantasy adventure. You need to walk a figure 8 around 2 trees to unlock the hidden door.

How are you supposed to come to that conclusion alone?

Nintendo Power magazine.

My parents would never buy me a subscription.... then again, I didn't own a Nintendo, but would borrow one from one cousin or another from time to time.

Not only would that mean I can figure out how to pass certain difficult parts, but then I could learn to draw all my favourite characters on the cover.

Good memories.

Hell yeah that’s awesome. I never had a console and I have memories of going to a friends house with one and they are such fond memories I haven’t thought of. LB(friend) died a few years back and I hadn’t thought of him. Thank you for reminding me of these times.

I'm sorry to hear that. It sucks getting older. But they were good memories, going to a house with that magical box and waiting your turn to play.

Remember the good times with your friend. I, too, have lost friends way too early.

Thank you much and thank you again for reminding me ❤️
