Mine is Cosmic Fantasy 2, for the TurboGrafx-16 CD System, was a game that I was given when I was not even a teenager yet, and I beat that without any guides, without any walkthroughs, without any support, and nobody helped me.

I believe it was the first game that I beat on my own.

I tried replaying it for nostalgia's sake, and the interface is so clunky and bad.

It uses a static card system for the enemies, nobody moves, the pacing is very slow, battles are frequent and pretty grueling, but I still remember the music, and I remember that it was the first game I ever played that had full motion video in it, even though it was anime full motion video, and the story was actually fantastic.

I honestly wish they would reboot this game or remake this game. There's like an entire Cosmic Fantasy series of role-playing games that were huge, like in the 90s, I guess, early 2000s, something, and they just freaking disappeared. And in English translation, we only got Cosmic Fantasy 2.

There's a lot of good story to mine, and the best part is it's a crossover where, like, some worlds have magic and some worlds have technology and people go back and forth between them and there's all sorts of different interesting creatures and stories that each world is experiencing.
