That game was the reason I got into RPG's.
When I was little, that was one of the only games we had (along with startropics and SMB3), so i played it a lot.
I never beat it though, until 2006, when I beat it on the GBA *shame*
Yeah, I know I wimped out on the GBA version, but at least I got to sample a bit of the greatness that was the first FF
