In gaming, I've never felt as satisfied with myself as I did upon finishing Final Fantasy II (aka FFIV). It was the first console RPG I owned, and I savored every plot twist and boss battle with the obsessive ardor that only a game-crazed adolescent can muster. And the well-done ending didn't hurt, either.

In the years that followed, I played through RPGs that were more rewarding, but like they say, you never forget your first time.

And they must be talking about games, right?
