Woot! 1979. Incredible! I love the evolution of the list here, not just the games but how your tastes have remained the same for 32 years but subetly changed subgenres. You found Final Fantasy and it changed your gaming life and props to still loving both that and Zelda after all their iterations and formula changes.
