"Faraway, so close, up with the static and the radio."

After seeing so many enthusiastic players back on tumblr, and after reading many reviews about how relaxing Animal Crossing New Leaf is, I made up my mind and bought it. Not only it's really relaxing, but it's also VERY addictive. I don't even have a house yet, and I'm already selling fruit and seashells and buying furniture and talking to everyone and collecting bugs... so addictive.

While I was in the store I spotted an old friend of mine on the shelf, squeed out loud and bought that too.



The old friend is Myst, the very first videogame I ever played, back in 1995. It was my dad, my sister and me, with a couple of notepads, pens everywhere, and no guides whatsoever. I still remember when we got to our first ending (blue page), it was one of the most exciting memories of my childhood. :D

And now I can carry it with me everywhere I go! Dear old island of Myst, how have I missed you! \o/

I even called my town in Animal Crossing 'Myst'. I came this close to calling it 'my butt', like someone did on tumblr, and whose screencaps made me crack a rib from laughing, but then it was my very first game, so I thought I'd play it like a grown up. (Think about it though: "I'm so happy you decided to live in my butt! / There are many secret locations in my butt. / Many tourists love to spend their holidays in my butt. / All hail the new Mayor of my butt!")

I didn't realise there was a Myst ds game. That's cool. I totally neglect my ds. I might get it.

That's cute that you have great video game memories from your childhood. Me and my dad playing FF7 (well, him playing and me being a backseat driver) is a big one for me.

According to a stamp on the case this version came out on May 24. It also says there's a brand new world just for this version. *________*

I bought my first videogame console when I was 24, up until then I only played on our pc, so every videogame was a shared experience. I remember playing Doom and Wolf on a school pc with my friends when I was 11 (no idea who installed them there), and each one of us would use one key, and we would play it all sitting on one chair, like some sort of mecha pilots. :D

Hahaha, that's adoreable. I remember Doom was one of the first games I played too (I was older than you though) and I used to get Doom nightmares from it.

It was pretty graphic indeed. Now that I'm a grown-up I get scared way more easily. I can watch zombie movies, for example, but I can't play zombie videogames because I scream everytime a zombie comes on screen and then start shooting everything and everyone, including my teammates. Very annoying. ^^"

Wow Myst! Completamente inatteso!

La qualità effettiva del gioco è bassina, non l'hanno rimasterizzato per niente e l'assenza del mouse si sente tantissimo, ma cazzarola, posso portarmi Myst in tasca! Wow!

(E Animal Crossing New Leaf è una drooooooogaaaaaaa)

Mia figlia gioca tanto ad Animal Crossing! Siete davvero fatte l'una per l'altra! ^^

Se vuole appena lo ottengo le passo il mio dream number, così può visitare la mia città. Dille che ho provato a piantare banane sulla terra normale e ciliegie sulla spiaggia, e mi ci vogliono dieci tentativi a pescare uno squalo, sono ancora imbranata forte...

E scrivo parolacce sulla bacheca cittadina, ma quelle le toglierò prima che venga qualcuno in visita, servono solo a far ridere me. (età mentale = sei anni)

Ah ah ah, io sono negata ai videogiochi (sarà la vecchiaia!): gioco solo a Supermario Galaxy II, a Monopoly e a Trivial Pursuit, ma sempre contro il computer, perché nessuno vuole giocare con me. Sono una vecchia ciabatta!!! ;)

P.S. - la mia consolle non è collegata a internet, quindi non credo che sia possibile vedere la tua città di Animal Crossing, sigh. :(

Io ho cominciato a giocare ai videogiochi su console a 22 anni, e ora non mi ferma più nessuno, li adoro! Il mio preferito resta assolutamente Kingdom Hearts, ma ne gioco di tutti i tipi. *_____*

Adoro anche i giochi da tavola, ma vivendo da sola tocca giocarli contro il pc, e chiaramente non vinco mai. Ho scaricato un'app degli scacchi l'altra settimana, e su cinquanta partite ho vinto tre volte in tutto. Sigh.
