Retro: David and Final Fantasy VII
There was a lad I went to school with. David Tetley. Odd lad, likeable enough. Always had the latest gadgets, courtesy of daddy. When Final Fantasy VII came out he was the first to have it.

He liked to rub that in our faces. We had to save for aaaaaaaaaages.

Mind you, he didn't have a memory card. So he'd get anything from one to six hours into the game then have to turn it off and start again.

He's still never made it out of Midgar...

That's just mental!
No chance of getting the gold choccy then !? I guess pocket money back then, wasn't what it is now......goes without saying though, one of the finest games I have ever played..

Amen to that...
Five times played through and counting, sitting at well over 500 hours of game time, just to get everything and kill the bonus WEAPONs.

Hell for the first eleventy million hours, I never realised there was a whole world outside of Midgar. The whole thing seemed huge. then I finished te bike chase and... OMG.

Ahh the memories....
never defeated Weapon (under water thingy) though, so kudos to you! Had a similar experience the first time round, thought Midgar was the main playing area, only to find the game is vast and chugs along nicely with an amazing storyline.I'm going to dig out my ps1 ronight and my old CRT t.v, roll a few funny one's and try and defeat everything...Mordern Warfare is going to have to be put down for a while! Although VII is the best 8 is still worth a play as well...
