Which GAME would you love to play again for "The First Time"? it's a hard one... I probably spent most time in "Super MarioWorld". I loved getting 100% on that. But I also loved YS I&II. But I'd have to go with "Money Island", the first one took adventure games to a new level.

When discussing someone else’s creative work, consider swapping “they should have done!” with “they could have done.” Creators do what they do for a reason, and while you may not always like the result, the work is as the creator intended it to be. Thx for coming to my TED talk
