[Cave Story]

So how were you introduced to Cave Story? I was introduced mid-2009, I had recently bought a wii points card and when a friend came over he recommended that I get it, so I decided to take a look (neither of us knew it was free on PC). I said "meh, it looks OK... nothing special" and spent the points on something else. A few weeks later it was my birthday, and at my party someone got me a 2000 Wii Points card and I had no idea what to spend it on. I was searching the store, and decided that I might try out this Cave Story game, purely because I couldn't think of another game to get. By the time I got up to the Bushlands (aka Grasstown) I was hooked. That was my story, but what about yours?

I was introduced to it by my brother, soon before the AGTP translation. My brother found it by accident at vector.jp and I was instantly hooked to the funky gameplay.

I first found the game way back in '06. You can witness the phenomenon here:

Second post is the link to an old broken CS download, and then my response is a few posts down. Pardon my mentally disabled child-like posting structure, this was five years ago.

Back then I think I only played up to the Undead Core and got stuck there, it wasn't until I joined MG that I actually came back and finished it.

In 10th grade, one of my friends told me about this game and how it's AWESOME and has the best music EVAR and I need to play it RIGHT NAO. Said friend had said just about the exact same thing about Within A Deep Forest a little while back, and he was right about that game, so I figured with Cave Story he'd be right as well. At first, I almost just gave up at the title screen because I couldn't figure out which key to press to start the game . If I had done that, y'all never would have met me (inb4 too bad you didn't).

Hehe I assume you're talking about the one on that other forum.
Yeah, I used to have cheese avatars for everything and draw it everywhere. And now I can draw cheese LIKE A BAWWSS.

Before you read: I'm european (not sure if that makes a different but you never know).

I heard there were new WiiWare Demo's, so I wanted to play them. First I scrolled to all the games. When I saw Cave Story I found it an strange name. I wasn't sure what kind of game it was, but it got my attention. I downloaded the game and as soon when I clicked on the channel I heard this.


I think I have listen to it at least 5 times before I actually started the game.

So when I began to play and saw thos rabbits (mimiga's ) I was confused. But as soon as I started to play, it felt so great! I loved the 8-bit style, I loved the music. Everything was so great! I have played that demo over and over.

I search on the internet and learned all those things about. Like that Pixel has made this game on his own. I was so amazed. I downloaded the game on the computer and played the hell out of hit.

So to make a long story short:

Because of the Wii Ware Demo

Man, I would have liked it if someone told me about this 3 years ago..

I saw that the Wii now had many demos, and I have heard about Cave Story a lot on Youtube. So I played the Cave Story demo, liked it enough to spend my Wii points on it, and became my favorite game due to it's addicting gameplay and story.

Yakkers introduced me <3

And he also introduced me to the forums. So you can blame my existence on him.
