up, my Dad was away alot because of the military. When he was around,
he would usually ride me about playing video games, but there was just
one game that would hold him :
Legend of Zelda, A Link to the
Past for the SNES.
Instead of typing in Link, he put his name in:
Bob. That first playthrough, he made me sit with him and help him
figure out puzzles... when I tried to help before he asked for it, he'd
grumble a bit and say "I didn't ask for any help" before figuring it out
himself.
He played this game over and over and over - the last
count of playthroughs (FULL COMPLETION, all heart pieces, upgrades, et
cetera, mind you - "I didn't raise you to do things half assed" he said)
he was at Bob 34 before the cartridge battery died.
A few years
ago, for Father's Day, we got him a GBA and the LttP remake before he
had to go overseas...
Well, a couple weeks ago, he broke his
ankle, and is laid up for the next month or two... so, we all chipped
in.. .and bought him Spirit Tracks and a DS.
He grumbled about
not being able to do any work, but last I talked to him, he was in the
last temple.
