I first heard of it when my best friend at the time spent the night at my house and brought it over. We were talking on the phone and he was like, "Want me to bring over FF? What is it? It's this great NES game. Okay." He was at the temple of the fiends at the end of the game and couldn't figure it out. Me, never even hearing of the game before was like: try this, go over here, go down them steps, and lead him straight to Chaos without a single mistake! I forgot about the game for a while until later on at his house one day he brouht it out again and I borrowed it.
