What are your favourite games? Part 1

When I was younger, I used to be hook to my Play Station (PS), PS2, computer & PSP because of a number of games. It wasn't really to the point of terrible addiction that my grades suffer and what not as we (my sister & I) only get to play them on weekends (if we're free) and during the long school holidays. We had to make sure that we did all our house chores etc. at the same time.

And most importantly, we needed to learn how to share. I usually enjoy watching my sister play (she's definitely a better player than me) and I was so terrible my sister would never want to watch me play. Sometimes, she helps me play my character if I needed her too.

The conclusion is that I actually bonded with my second sister, a lot.

Here are some of the games I loved (that I could remember):
1. Harvest Moon Back to Nature (released in 1999)
It was initially introduced to me by my cousins, they were so hooked onto it, way more than we are, but in a controlled way, which most would assume as weird though (30 minutes - 1 hour a day for games like that) and they actually follow their schedule for more than a year. Very WTF right? I don't think I can even follow one for more than 1 week.

It's just so cute! I just knew that they now have websites with the cheats etc. (http://harvestmoon.wikia.com/wiki/Harvest_Moon:_Back_to_Nature) Last time, we were so old school we scribbled everything down! We test-tried everything! Also cos back then, we didn't have any internet or that the internet even have cheats like this. 

We didn't have the girl version then but I really wanted one, so had to wait until fate comes, because at that time, again: NO INTERNET, and the only access to games is through a small game shop T__________T

Until years later, we got a PSP and who knew, we managed to get the girl version one too!!! WEEE~ But the bad thing was that by then, we were sort of bored by it. 

But if I could, I would get this game again and put it in a safe!!! It's one of my ultimate childhood treasure! Okay, maybe after I finish playing with it. :D

2. Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life

This game was more 3D compared to the older 2D version (refer to the above) and sort of upgraded? 

But the part I love the most is you can have kids!!! Not only farm animals! AND ALSO THE ANIMALS CAN GET PREGNANT! SO YOU CAN HAVE A BABY COW!!! Okay,well you can have that in the older version too but this is 3D~~ 

3. Suikoden V

This is an absolute love! I love learning about different war tactics that are really smart and this has so much of that! 

And plus, the graphics and characters are so awesome! They have short clips in between so it's really entertaining too! And they have DRAGONS! I love DRAGONS!! Even if it just looks like them. Upon saying this, I realised that the dragons in this game are not really dragons but dragon lookalikes. Oh well. 

So you're actually playing the character of the Prince, but you don't get to marry any pretty princesses etc. You're in war okay! 

But my favourite character is:

She's super smart! She knows all the war tactics etc. She knows what moves to make and what to expect and is always a couple of steps ahead of everyone else.
