Just a few years before that in '74 I got a Pong game for X-mas, of course I broke it shortly after but that still counts.
Final Fantasy 1 was my jam. I played that into the ground, found every secret, over leveled to the point the secret super boss Warnech fell in a few passes.
The game had everything I hate about RPG's now, random encounters every few steps, constant grind, obtuse map, limited save system you had to actually pay at an inn to use. Fun times.
