Starting with an Old Love: The .hack//connection

I remember my introduction to video games.

I had a SNES when I was about four. Well, more like my dad has a SNES, because all I recall doing is dying on Super Mario Bros. while he picked up the controller and showed me how to do it. That one-sided hierarchy ended with the Nintendo 64. I loved [failing] at Zelda games, especially Majora's Mask. To this day, I still have never finished it, nor have I tried since before my freshman year in high school.



Around the 6th grade, I was finally introduced to this little gem (a huge gem in Japan, apparently) on the PS2 called .hack. I loved the SIGN anime on TV and appreciated the Tsukasa's unique struggle of being trapped in something so surreal as a game. I think that's when I started obsessing over series the way I do now...

This is probably going to end up being a series considering how much I've looked into it...
