i think it was 1997 (but the PlayStation and Final Fantasy VII) had already come out. my cousins, brother and i were still playing Zelda: A Link To The Past. then we heard of this really cool game and one of my brother's friend let him borrow it. while halfway thru disk 1, my brother decided to get us our own copy and voila - here comes a whole new chapter of my life. this question pops up a lot but i reveal a little more when i make a new post.
