  • When I was a pretty young Makyo I rented of of the Dragon Warrior games for NES. It was one of those JRPGs with a pretty customizable party, naming them and all that. I was sick so I had a bunch of uninterrupted time playing and got so wrapped up in the story and gameplay, like I was cheering them on by name and really having one of my first somewhat immersive experiences with gaming. Then when it came time to return it, in the following days I actually really missed these characters! Like I was dealing with a new kind of loss that I hadn’t felt before.

    Just a really cool experience overall and I always look back on it as a reason I really got into gaming as a lifelong hobby and taught me how even more rudimentary versions could be artistic in ways that rival other means of storytelling.
