thinking about high school reminded me that i sat behind a kid in some creative writing course who'd bring his own laptop to work on assignments. one day he instead booted up an emulator and started playing a game i hadn't seen before but looked cool af. i asked him after class what it was and he started gushing about Final Fantasy Tactics. fast forward about 8 years later and he's been one of my best friends ever since and was the one who convinced me to register for SA in the first place.

Took a cad class in high school where the teacher would just sit at his computer and work on architectural plans for his dream house. We all loaded up worms Armageddon and tribes 2 on the computers and did nothing but play those for 5 glorious hours a week for the semester

He told me he was going to give me a 100 in the class and then never really said anything to me again other than when he was cleaning out his desk and gave me a huge expensive looking CAD/CAM software box set from 1997ish.

In shop class in middle school there were like 4 or 5 ancient computers in the classroom area and some days the teacher would just not give a gently caress and instead of making spice racks or whatever he just let us play games for an hour. I remember playing a ton of Scorched Earth and some DOS version of Jeopardy with CGA graphics.

My brother was playing some n64 game that was an arcade port, I think gauntlet legends or sf rush or something, and it had a vestigial 'insert coins' on screen. He was 3 or 4 and ran to my moms purse and grabbed a handful of change and inserted them into the n64 air ducts. He kept doing this for days, and even started putting in folded up dollar bills until it stopped working and we had to mail it to nintendo. They even mailed the money back lol

Remember sitting in the cafeteria in 3rd grade overhearing a conversation from the kid across the table from me talk about how if you knew the exact right place you could make a vine shoot up into the sky and it would take you to a secret board in the clouds, and how you can shoot fireballs and find hidden rooms in the underground board, and building up this massive image of this immersive fantasy world in my head. When I finally played SMB I was surprised at how it was nothing at all like I imagined it.
