Ah yes, Super Mario RPG was expensive. $60, I believe. Took me awhile to get that sort of money in those days.
And yes, Chrono Trigger is a very, very good game. Despite the fact it was only mentioned briefly, everyone should play it.
I could have sworn I posted in this topic before, but it was probably just one that was similar. Anyways, my first game, while I'm not certain, was probably Pac-Man on the Atari. Either that or Pong. Such great games.
My first Nintendo game, on the other hand, was Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt.
