Same
big part of my teens too, although it took me over 99 hours to complete! (first FF game I ever played, and I also, think it was the best)

Same for me
The first time I played it, it took me over 8 hours to get out of Midgar and on to the bike chase. Good times.

only last year
3 of us went to a mate of mine's house, fired up the PS1 on a big projector screen on Friday night and playing without stopping (sleeping in shifts) until we completed it on the Sunday. Didn't do the chocobo breeding to get the knights of the round summon, due to time connstraints and left the weapon fights, but other than that. all done. best weekend evaaaaaa.

Did you get KO'd at all?
I imagine that it must have been the most irritating thing ever, if you were just trying to get through it. I did a similar thing with my brother playing FF9 on new years eve ("How far can we get before 2010?") and because we didn't bother to level up we got owned pretty fast.

Now THAT
is hardcore.

I like the fact that you slept in shifts. That is true commitment to the cause.
