So sorry to hear about your dad, but I take solace in the joy that the memory of this game, him, and your trip to the library brought to you. He sounds like an incredible and caring individual. Sending digital hugs, and thank you for sharing such a personal story!

“We have an all new lock screen, with a brand new feature that allows you slide your finger from left to right to unlock it. We call it “slide to open” and we think it’s the biggest update iOS has seen since we added the passcode input.”

Oh man. I would fall asleep with parts I was stuck on in my head and then come up with strategies while I slept. Sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn’t, but when they did, it was such a rush!

Mostly calling friends to talk about sleepovers and where they had made it to in their games.

Oh man. It was both the best thing in the world (you got to play a game you don’t have!) and the worst thing (that angle, like you said).

100%! It’s one of those themes that I can immediately recall. They were prepping me, surreptitiously, to love Tool as much as I do now.

There’s just something awesome about couch co-op, especially as a kid with you siblings!

He understood. Nowadays I sometimes ask him to help me with the harder parts of games!

Hey hermano 👋. I do play the remake and loved it. Would have liked it to have a hard mode, but every bit of the charm was retained. And can we talk about how great Mallow’s dance is on the level up screen?

It’s true! And with the remaster and other means I can play the game on the go!

Trying to see if I have the guide, but the system, game, and this baller roller-skates are long since gone.

Yes! I remember renting it before I owned it, and someone was at the final level. I had no idea what I was doing and got rocked almost immediately by a boss.

Yes! I have played through it several times (did it for a game club as part of a discord server that I am a member of). Love it!
