Hmm.. know what, why not?

Buddy: Super Robot Taisen: OG GBA cartridge

How I Got It: Gift for myself prior to Winter Break.

History: The year prior to that, I stumbled upon the SRT/SRW franchise and adored it. Not too long after, I found out about the duo of games that actually got released in English on the GBA, two of the only three games from the series  I eventually tracked down one of the two games at a local GameStop, and treated myself to an early christmas present.

What Makes it Special: It's basically a Fire Emblem style game without perma-death, a very unique Will based combat system, a pretty sweet story and tons of original mecha designs, what is not to love about this!? *Cough* That and being one of three translated games, alongside the first one I actually got ahold of, I adored it to no end and played through it more times than I can count. I also make sure it stays clean and that dust doesn't build up inside of the cartridge to help maintain it.

What it did: Provide me with what I estimate to be about 200+ hours of heroic-fighting-mechanoid action in the name of justice and also awesome in general.

Time Length: I believe just under six years as of now.

Nickname: Buddy (Seriously. I am bad at nicknames)
