How old were you and maybe most importantly was it worth it ?

    Secret of Mana. I was 12, and went and worked under the table stripping tobacco. The game was well worth what I paid, the job wasn’t.

      Secret of Mana is responsible for one of my earliest memories (gaming or otherwise) where my dad had given me a controller and convinced me I was playing with him. I dont know how long he got away with that because the memory is me slowly figuring out it means nothing.

        Well that was a shit thing for him to do. One of the reasons I got the game is that my younger brother was 9 and youngest was 4. I also got a third controller and the 4 controller adapter.

        I played Poppoi, younger bro got Marle, and youngest bro was given the sword boy and told where to go. Younger bro got quite good as the healer.

        The three of us got all the spells to level 8:99, and yes, I do mean ALL. We also got all the extra weapon orbs out of the Mana Fortress, though I found out later that we did miss some really nice weapon and armor drops before the thing takes off.
