   games like Mario Party 7 kosts about 100 dollars here, it's insane.
   
   Did find Starfox Adventures for in a good deal (buy 3, pay for 2)... although I ended up buying 4 ^^
   
   Finally got a hold of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1+2 for the Xbox (and Fallout Brotherhood of Steel)... not the best of titles, but I hadn't seen any of them for quite a while =) And it's Interplay's last work, so if nothing else to honour a great company, which has followed my gaming through ages =)

   Secret of Mana reminds of Link to the Past, as they are both "Action/Adventure/RPG's", so it's a different take on the genre, not as well thought out (IMHO) as Link to the Past, but worth checking out.
   
   I try to collect all GameCube and Xbox1 games, I can get a hold of in stores at the moment, since they are slowly but steadily dissapearing on the market. It's not the oldest, nor greatest of game-consoles, nor games, but I think we should all do our part to ensure that video-gaming of the past is well preserved for the future..
   
   (sorry.. my ramblings)

   to me (never haven gotten into the "depths" of) Final Fantasy VIII feels like... we made it 3D once and we can do it again!! (and add one more disc)... it was (according to my knowledge) better selling than nr. 7, but mainly because of the hype.
   
   As soon as I get off my 360, I'll try and give nr. 9 a try however, since the graphics feel more appealing (yes, I do care about graphics, since they are a great part of the game); I don't like the character-graphics in FFVIII, since they try to look "real", which is quite difficult on a PS1.
   
   FFIX seems to have the "old" graphics instead. Characters look... cartoony. In a good way ^^
   
   How about the "Secret of Mana" series? tried them?

   FF 7, had it all, great graphics, a well-thought-through battle system and an epic story.
   I always wanted to go through and play FF8, since it was so well received by the critics (and fans), but I have a hard time dealing with the graphics =/
   
   Still, I must say that most of Square's RPG's meet up to a standard (storywise), which few other companies can match
   
   It was hard work indeed (I was 16 at the time), but I was raised much of my youth on that same farm and there was much more to do, so I was used to it =)
   
   Although it may seem "boring" compared to producing computer-games, or whatever else one may dream of, a job is still a job.
   
   And as long as one feels comfortable getting up to it in the morning, it can't be all that bad? ^^
   
   Going to work with one's family, can be straining ^^ But at the same time, it can lead to a bit more "relaxed" atmosphere =)

    Go on-line to find the blue-switch palace? hehe, yeah, I'm on my way there as well ^^ (I can hardly remember any of the secrets and as much as I would love to be able of finding "everything" by myself; it just takes too long =)
    
    I have Chrono Trigger for the SNES and Chrono Cross for the PSX; although I haven't played Chrono Cross yet, since I always think that it's "better" to go through them in chronological order (not that they have "that much" in common, but still)
    
    Chrono Trigger, is absolutely wonderful, it has a captivating story (although "simple"); and the characters feel really "alive" (not to mention the music... it's absolutely wonderful) (I tend to get emotional, when it comes to Japanese RPG's... I started crying the first time I went through Final Fantasy VII and Aeris dies... *sigh*)
    
    There is a PSX version of Chrono Trigger as well (as far as I can recall) (it's got some cut-scenes as well, but otherwise it's the same game)
    
    The RPG's these days (at least the Japanese) still have great story-lines; but I just don't find them as "captivating". I played Final Fantasy X and XII pretty much, when I had my PS2, but I just didn't find them as good as FInal Fantasy VI and VII. And I have a love for sprites ^^ (Although FFVII is polygonal 3D)
    
    The SNES RPG's do "look alot" like one another, but it's their story-lines that make up the game in the lack of "graphics" (although I find them more appealing, since the PSX, wasn't truly capable of showing off "true" 3D at the time and the PS2 is... good, but... there's just something about SNES RPG's that's more my style ^^)
    
    I can imagine that working at a gamestore, perhaps is more attractive when you're "young" and "just need a job". Me personally would love to work at one, mainly since my primary (only(?)) interest in life are... Games =) (and art... and poetry...^^)
    
    The woodcutter job I had was... woodcutter ^^ ("Lumberjack"), so it was up early in the morning, then going to the forest (woods) and chopping trees, then load them up on a trailer, take them to the saw-mill and make boards. Nothing "advanced"; but we were only 2 people managing the whole process (me and my foster-father), and it was a "nice" feeling; sitting in the forest, taking a lunch-break with some hot cocoa and an egg-sandwich, lightning up a fire and just chatting away for around half-an-hour, before going back to work.
    
    It was satisfying at the end of the day, when I was totally exhausted and could sleep knowing that I had done my fair share of work for the day =)
    
    As mentioned, it's good to have a "trade", eventhough one has to start somewhere, it's always possiblle to "branch out", once you get a hold of it =)
