3/ Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - There was a good chunk of time where I actually enjoyed multi-player games, and many good times were had with this one. @vriess.bsky.social and I good-naturedly argued with our friend over who got to be ‘bucket bitch’ each round of play.

4/ Chibi-Robo - This was such a cute, fun game to play. Resource management is not a novel concept in video games, but this was a great way to introduce more casual/younger gamers to the mechanic without being punishing about it. So much fun, and one of the big reasons I wish I still had a GameCube.
