I was at my friend's house. These people played RPGs and computer games all the time. I was always seeking their help with games and such. They were all-knowing with RPGs, and really got me propelled. The same people who gave me a NES cartridge of FF1 for one of my birthdays. I still have it.
Anyway, I saw them playing it once when I walked in. They were traversing through the Forest Maze, and I froze in my spot. I couldn't even speak, I just stared at the screen in awe for several minutes, watching the amazing graphics and the seemingly simple, yet fun gameplay. The attacks were kick-ass and the sprites looked sweet. Finally one of the guys noticed me standing there, and said "Wait...haven't you heard of Chrono Trigger? It's this new game, and it's probably the best Squaresoft game ever." I hadn't, but I wouldn't forget it.
