One weekend while dialling up using Telkom's R7 Call More deal I hit the search engines (probably a combo of Webcrawler, Altavista, Yahoo!, or that all-in-one search engine whose name escapes me) to find out what I was missing.

Turns out I had sold a crucial item somewhere along the way and I couldn't remember to which store I had pawned it. Ended up starting the game from scratch and thoroughly enjoying it the second time through.
I got so obsessed with Final Fantasy VIII and i wanted to 100% the game... Part of that was collection all the cards in a playable card game with in the game... The catch tho... If you lose a game to someone, they take one of your cards... Good luck remembering who you lost a bloody card to when your 100 hours + into a game...
