    So I basically started using it the year it was made. I am 40 now, and I was about 10 when I originally found it. Cool.

    I remember spending hours printing an entire walkthrough for Secret of Mana on my dot matrix printer back in the day. Got me all the way through to the final boss; but then the SNES itself died mid battle. 😩

      RIP Kolanaki’s SNES

      I loved Secret of Mana and on several playthroughs, the hardest boss, for me, has always been that damn tiger in the witch’s castle. When it zig-zagged like a spike ball, the chances of getting wiped were huge. One hit = unconscious.

      Kind of similar story of ancient gaming tragedy, I was a young lad going for 100% in FFVII, and after spending however many hours getting everything ready, I saved right by Emerald Weapon, deciding to tackle him right after school the next day. Aaaaand then I came back to everything on the memory card being gone due to some dumb glitch. Still never beat Emerald Weapon.
