Ah, 1996. The year of many great gaming things for me.

I played my first RPG Final Fantasy game in 1996: FFIII on the SNES (FFVI). I was looking for a game to reant at Block Buster and I heard how great FFIII was, so I decided to rent it. Tha game blew me away from the start! Sweet SNES visuals and a highly intiguing story were both well intact. Later that year I scored a copy of the NES Final Fantasy. I was so happy.

I also played Illusion of Gaia that year which I really enjoyed. Since I didn't have Super Mario RPG yet and it was all the rave, Im played it instead.

I turned 15 that year and for my Birthday, I got Super Mario RPG and Secret of Mana. Oh how I loved both games. One of my good gaming buddies helped me tackle Secret of Mana from start to finish. It was an amazing experience. The music from Secret of Mana still plays in my head.

Nintendo 64. Everyone I know wanted one. The released date was September 29th. I got a call from Toys 'R Us saying they had their shipments in and I could pick mine up. Oh happy day! Didn't have the cash for games so we rented Super Maio 64 SM64=Platform gaming bliss.

Those are some of the higher points in 1996 gaming from me.
