My favorite gaming moment was finally defeating the final boss in a little PS1 game called Brave Fencer Musashi. I was like 10 years old or so and I was just completely in love with that game. I really loved the characters, the gameplay, the music, and the story, and collecting those little action figures in-game was so much fun! Brings back such nice memories to think of those times.

I was up pretty late trying to defeat that freaking final boss and all its forms, and really I had no idea how the boss would be or how many forms it had or what tactics I needed to use, I did not have access to internet back then or any other sort of "walkthrough" for the game so I just had to wing it old school and learn as I go along.

When I finally defeated him using all my Brave Fencer skeels and powers and Dark Lumina finally dies for real and explodes in a ball of light, I am filled with pride. I did it. I fulfilled my destiny. I saved the world. I can now return to my homeland. That night I slept the sleep of legendary heroes, and on the morn arose reinvigorated and full of glorious wonder of what video games had in store for me in the future!

Thanks for the chance OP.
