well for me it was when i was 6 yrs old and my uncle got my mum a brand new (imported from america) gameboy, it came with the original ff: legends....which when i finally got to play it (when i was bout 9 or 10) it kicked ass! then a few years later i heard a big commotion about ff7 and i thought "hey aint that the game on the gameboy" so i bought it and have never regretted it....
