Final Fantasy as Therapy

I seem to have found the perfect game for passing time while recovering from surgery: Final Fantasy. The turn-based combat means I can doze off and the game will still be waiting for me when I wake up :-). There's no intense button mashing--which I'd be really bad at right about now.

You can see me on the screenshot there. I'm the thief who tends to get slain a lot in battle. On the other hand, I'm great at running away from battles, and if I escape, the whole party of four escapes, for some strange reason only known to video game designers.

Grand theft auto (the new version) would be way funner. I know you wanna get it. now would be the perfect time.

How were you playing, an emulator or an actual console?

That image is from an emulator, but I tend to have the console versions, too.

Between the real NES console, an FC and an FC Twin, I can play a large collection of NES cartridges.
