@davidvinc Год назад

Thanks so much for having me on Emily! I love deep diving into the games of the 80s and talking about my childhood and what made them special to me! Much love! :)

@orbalology Год назад

Thank you so much David for sharing your 80s pick! The game you shared sounded super interesting :)

@robbyrobot3303 Год назад

@davidvinc Golvellius is another Compile game that reminds me of guardian legend in the way it switches from a top down overworld, to side-scrolling, to forced scrolling overhead kind of like a shmup Wayforward tried to do a spiritual followup to Guardian Legend on GBA with Sigma Star Saga, but I haven't heard great things about it

@Kiara.step-daughter Год назад

you’re super fit, sir 🙂 Ty for sharing your nostalgic game!

@mintendogaming Год назад

Thank you so much for including me Emily! I really loved listening to everyone share about the games they adored as kids… childhood nostalgia is what brought me BACK to gaming in 2020 after not picking up a video game in several years! So this topic is definitely special 😊

@orbalology Год назад

Thanks so much for sharing your memories with us Min! It was a pleasure to have you 😊

@TheGamingShelf Год назад

Thanks for having me on Emily! It was fun talking about a game that ISN’T a JRPG but still holds up really well 😄

@orbalology Год назад

Thanks Taylor for sharing your non-JRPG pick with us 😆

@lambertar Год назад

Haven't watched yet, you talked about Red Dead 2 ? 👀 I'm kidding Bubbles if you see this 😅😜.

@tonyp9313 Год назад

Mega Man 4 looks awesome. I played it once on the mega man collection. For me I always go back & play Mega man 2 as a game I will replay a ton.

@cozyfeji Год назад

Thank you Emily for inviting to be a part of this video! Everyone’s choices were all awesome! I have take time play them all!😊

@orbalology Год назад

Thanks so much for taking part in this, Rae! I really enjoyed hearing you talk about your memories with your brothers :)

@tonyp9313 Год назад

Contra is one of my fav nes games of all time. Yeah I remember playing that with my friends. It was so hard when I was a kid, that I had to use the 30 lives just to beat it. As a kid you struggle with these games to learn the things, how they work etc. Now as an adult I beat this without losing a life. Only did that maybe 4 times as I played this game 100's of times over & over. As a kid it probably took me months maybe years, & that was just to get a grasp of the game or beat it the couple of times. As an adult when you go back to them they are so much easier to master & takes me way less time to beat them.

@RE-LOOIE Год назад

Thanks again for asking me to be part of this collaboration, Emily! It was a lot fun to put my segment together...and honestly got me thinking about doing a video of my own highlighting more games that fall into this category. Great to see so many other creators share their picks too! I wasn't subbed to most of these folks, so excited to tune into more of their videos (special shoutout to @cozyfeji for showing Sly Cooper some love! Sly 2 is one of my favorites as well) 🙂

@orbalology Год назад

Thanks for sharing your pick with us, Rusty! And ohh I would love to see a video from you expanding on your nostalgic picks :)

@orbalology Год назад

@crazycgames Год назад

Totally with you with Link to the Past! I played that game SOOO much growing up and still go back every other year or so just to replay it!

@orbalology Год назад

It's really such a timeless classic :)

@Ishin69 Год назад

i looove all the collabs happening all around JRPG youtubers right now!! my favorite childhood games are probably final fight and street fighter 2, two games i can ALWAYS pick up and play for a while!

@orbalology Год назад

The collabs have been a lot of fun! And we'll hopefully continue seeing them for quite some time :)

@YouOweMeAPizza Год назад

LTTP is definitely my most nostalgic game that still holds up. I remember watching my older brother watch it for hours as a kid. I specifically remember being amazed by the Ice Palace. It’s one of those games that is just so satisfying whether I play for 15 minutes or do a whole playthrough. On top of that, there are so many iconic songs that take us back to the first time we played it.

@Mike55690 Год назад

Ahhh this collab was absolutely fantastic Emily! This was such a great watch and seeing your fellow friends / content creators share their passion for their childhood dreams was a joy to watch! Love seeing topics / video ideas like this - again, as always. keep up the stellar job :)

@orbalology Год назад

Thanks Michael! Glad to hear this one really resonated with you :)

@MiamiSunrise Год назад

My fav submissions: DavidVinc - Guardian Legend - honestly i couldnt have picked better. What an amazing OG Nintendo game that is. It needs more love. CozyFeji - Sly Cooper “yes i said trilogy. I know cannonically there is a 4th game… but it doesnt exist, we dont know her” haha well said. Emily: LOZ LTTP - if there is a game on the SNES i thought highly of its that one. I didnt play the handheld version but what a winner 🏆 Thanks everyone, this was fun, also found some new creators too.

@orbalology Год назад

The GBA version for ALTTP added a secret end-game dungeon which was pretty cool if you completed the Four Swords game :)

@MrJimithee Год назад

Mine would be Super Metroid... It's one of those games that doesn't need a re-master, it just nailed it first time round. The graphics, the sense of discovery, the MUSIC (!) ... pure perfection Great vid, loved Raes story about Contra... It IS a great team building exercise!

@orbalology Год назад

Thanks for watching! I enjoyed hearing Rae's story too :)

@elisac6146 Год назад

Loved the video, everyone has the same feeling and similar experiences that exposed you all to loving games. My most nostalgic video is Aladdin for the SNES and TMNT turtles in time, I didn’t own any of the two nor the system. They belonged to my brother and I would go to his room and play them without authorization when he was out for soccer practice as he is a decade older than me, so you can imagine how that goes when allowed to play games at a young age. I loved the colors, music and challenge I would have, I failed several times before I passed them after 2 years of trying XD. I would return everything back to normal before he would be back from practice leaving no evidence behind of my intrusion XD.

@orbalology Год назад

Oh gosh you were very sneaky back then! I love it, haha.

@CelsaoHumilde Год назад

Love the video Emily, thanks for putting it together with so many great creators. And HUGE SHOUT OUT to @Stylishnerd for mentioning the amazing and timeless Contra!

@orbalology Год назад

Thank you so much for watching! And Rae is great - her collection is really amazing too :)

@JoeNayDoh Год назад

Excellent collab video! So many different consoles and genres represented. I've never even heard of The Guardian Legend before but it sounds amazing. Nostalgia is such a double edge sword. I remember playing Breath of Fire 3 for the PS1 so much as a kid but was always afraid to jump back in cause what if it aged poorly and didn't love it the same. Finally worked up the courage to do another play through last year. So happy to see it still held up and is still one of my favorite games of all time.

@orbalology Год назад

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this one - it was a lot of fun to put together :) And I know exactly what you mean about the double edge sword - there are a few games I've considered going back to but I also have my concerns on how they hold up lol.

@MATTierial Год назад

This is such a wonderful video! Got a lot of games added to my list, and tons that I've been thinking about but not sure if I should go back to try! For me, I grew up mostly as a handheld Gameboy gamer. I could bring it with me on long car rides and play for hours. The game that really grabbed me was Pokemon Gold. I fondly remember receiving it with a Yellow Gameboy Color for my birthday. I played that game probably for hundreds if not thousands of hours! So long that I ended up running into a Shiny Golbat through raw 2nd generation shiny odds. Gen 2 songs still play like background music in my head... Looking back at it these days, I'm still surprised at what an incredible and innovative game it was. As a sequel to the original games, it's almost perfect! Introducing you to a new region, but expounding on the story of the previous game with Team Rocket. They update and refine the mechanics, added breading and incorporating the "Color" aspect of the new Gameboy Color by introducing shiny pokemon. Then, when you "beat" the game, you open up a new area that turns out to be the entire original Kanto region, where you can catch up with the memorable characters and areas. Finally, to close out the game, you face Red... the personification of your character from the original game! And he's TOUGH!! Unfortunately, like most of the Gameboy Pokemon games, my Pokemon Gold's battery died and all of those memories are just memories. I've come to terms with that loss 😅These days, I tell people to play Heart Gold or Soul Silver... but, you miss something from the story if you hadn't grown up playing the first gen games.

@MATTierial Год назад

I'll add a nod to two more games from the Gameboy Color/Advance era: >Metroid Fusion >Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland!

@orbalology Год назад

Aww I have such fond memories of Pokémon Silver myself. I can't say how many times I replayed it as a kid :)

@MJB_9292 Год назад

Yes Rusty, return of the king 😍 I loved that game too as a kid but i love the LOTR world 😄

@bobolimasterflex Год назад

It is so refreshing to have a youtuber that is not yelling and acting fake. Really enjoy these videos. So calm and relaxing.

@snowhawkthorne630 Год назад

Do you also watch Metal Jesus Rocks or Happy Console Gamer? They both have really good laid back channels. Happy Console Gamer I guess can sometimes get a little loud but he always seems genuine with his opinions

@orbalology Год назад

Thanks so much!

Omg I've never met anyone else that loved harvest moon!!!! Such a great choice mintendo!! Loved the way you explained the game ❤. Also I could never choose a favorite nastolgia game Idk how you all did it! They are all so amazing haha.

@Seventeen_Seconds Год назад

Prince of Persi on the Amiga had me obsessed for years as a kid. Way ahead of its time animation, great sound effects and huge mind boggling levels! Still love playing it today. Great video really enjoyed that.

@orbalology Год назад

Thanks for sharing! It's cool looking back at some titles and reflecting on how ahead of the times they were :)

@DaneofHalves Год назад

Great video! Love the community opinions! Thanks for sharing!

@stephieh80 Год назад

Nice collab! I enjoyed seeing everyone’s childhood game. I’m old school original Nintendo but the game that stands out for me is Super Mario World for Super Nintendo. I remember when I finished the game and all the secrets, I cried. Lol I wanted to keep playing, such great times!

@orbalology Год назад

Great choice! And thanks for watching :)

@QuietSP Год назад

One game from my childhood that I feel has really stood the test of time with the various rereleases and remakes is Dragon Warrior 3. Whenever I watch David talk about his experiences of when he broke his arm and played it while out of school, it always reminds me of when I was a kid playing that game. Though the Dragon Warrior game I played was different than the one David played, there’s something to be said about the same game being experienced in childhoods ~10 years apart, and even more now that it’s on the switch, and again in the soon to be released 2.5D remake.

@orbalology Год назад

I'm really excited to give DQ3 a try once the remake releases - hopefully Square Enix will give us more news soon!

@salsamonkey65 Год назад

Taking me back to my N64 days! Such good times. Banjo-Kazooie has held up very well for me. Recently did a 100% run on the Switch. I also spent a ton of time with the GBA, especially Pokemon Emerald and LeafGreen. So many great games in this showcase!

@ConvertedOptimist Год назад

DuckTales for the NES. Every time I boot it up I end up running through the whole game. Keep up the awesome work!

@orbalology Год назад

Nice! And thank you :)

@000585677 11 месяцев назад

@vtuberfanjames Год назад

Always a treat seeing these huge gaming collabs. From initially following David, Kiseki Nut, and Backlog Battle, these kinds of videos allow me to find even more creators that share the same love for gaming.

@vorpal22 Год назад

Awesome video! When you mentioned a collaboration, I wasn't envisioning anything nearly as big as this! Great video with a couple of RU-vidrs that I really like, and a whole bunch of new ones that I had never come across before. Sadly, I didn't get into console gaming seriously until the Wii and DS. I did buy a PS1 and PS2, but I didn't play them very much and I wasn't into JRPGs back then... I wasn't used to the art style or plot differences in Japanese games. It took a friend of mine to get me into JRPGs in the mid-to-late 20 naughts. My parents wouldn't buy me a console as a kid... they wanted me to have computers because I would use them to program instead of just play games (which is what led to me being a software engineer and mathie today), so really, the earlier games that really stuck out for me are from the Commodore 64 and old PCs, like my 386 PC... Ultima IV, V, and VII were big ones for me, but the ones I still play every couple years are Might and Magic III, IV, and V. Apart from Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2, the first console games that, sadly, really stick out for me the most are Etrian Odyssey IV, Shin Megami Tensei IV, and Fire Emblem Awakening. 😅

@orbalology Год назад

I grew up playing PC games too! Though nothing too much to write home about, the early ones were mostly learning-type games lol. Pokemon Silver was technically my first JRPG but it wasn't until the PS2 era that I got more into them with games like Kingdom Hearts, Dark Cloud, FF12, etc :)

@mypartyisprivate8693 Год назад

I love David. GAINBOY! Haha. You and David are a couple of my favorite gaming channels. Unexpected appearance. Cheers!

@orbalology Год назад

@BulletPr00fGAm3r Год назад

Thanks for a fun video! On my end i know its not a console game but Warcraft 1 and 2 bring back so many amazing memories, it was my first game that i got with my first PC and spent countless hours playing!!

@orbalology Год назад

PC gaming totally counts! That's where I started off my gaming journey too :)

@Kudos2_Me Год назад

I just played the whole Sly series this month and Sly 4 is easily my favorite in the series --- I definitely recommend it.

@orbalology Год назад

The Sly series was one I missed out on as a kid (mostly because of my aversion to stealth games lol). I do want to give them a go at some point - hopefully they'll remaster them again.

@Kudos2_Me Год назад

@@orbalology Yeah I have a bit of an aversion to stealth games too. But honestly, stealth kind of takes backseat in the series. If you you’ve played Ghost of Tsushima, you’ll be able to notice similarities in how the Sly games tackle stealth.

@heartnintendo Год назад

Nice topic for this video! And everyone had a really thoughtful discussion of each game. I loved seeing some of my favorite RU-vidrs and discovering new ones to watch. My picks would be the first video game I played at a friend’s house - super Mario bros on the nes, and the first Pokémon game I got - Pokémon silver.

@orbalology Год назад

This was a lot of fun to put together & hear everyone's response! And ah I have a lot of fond memories with Pokémon Silver too :)

@readyforclarity Год назад

What a lovely video. I adore your collabs. Ocarina of time changed my life and I'll never not love it ❤

@themanboycave122 Год назад

@gaming4fun2022 Год назад

@turnbasedtoddy7664 Год назад

This was such a great video! You can hear the nostalgia through everyones tone of voice when they talk about their game. Mine is definitely Xenogears.

@orbalology Год назад

Glad to hear you enjoyed this! Ah Xenogears, I really need to experience it sometime soon!

@ChrisDM7285 Год назад

What a great video E, such a cool idea, if I had to pick just one nostalgia game, it will always be my favorite game of all time, Streets of rage 2 from the Sega Genesis, I love it so much. Keep up the good work Em

@orbalology Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)

@Chandlaman Год назад

i played the majority of these games as a kid so it’s really cool to see how many others enjoyed the same childhood memories i treasure in their own way. 😊

@orbalology Год назад

Agreed! I actually haven't played many of these games but it was super cool hearing similar sentiments and experiences :)

@Chandlaman Год назад

@@orbalology your pick was a big one for me since that was an EARLY childhood memory along with the girl who chose Ocarina of Time 3D. my favorite childhood nostalgic game would have to either be Pokémon Yellow or Super Mario Sunshine.

@Eagleknight815 Год назад

Great choices by all. A link to the past would probably be my first choice however Final Fantasy 4 would be a very close second. My grandfather probably rented Final Fantasy 4 for me so many times that it should have just bought me the game. Absolutely love it today. It brings a lot of nostalgia and warm and fuzzies. Great video

@CorinianSalame Год назад

Mine is Brave Fencer Musashi. It really is still so much fun and so charming in a cheesy way to this day. I showed it to my game night friends who had never played it and they ended up loving it and playing it for hours. Which I think cements my opinion not being purely nostalgia!

@orbalology Год назад

Aww that's awesome! I'll have to look more into that game too :)

@CorinianSalame Год назад

@@orbalology it’s a top down Zelda clone made by Square! So definitely right up your alley!

@orbalology Год назад

@@CorinianSalame Ah excellent!

@jansaborrido Год назад

For me, that would be Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for the GBA. FFTA was the game that made me love tactical RPGs.

@markasscop Год назад

in terms on non mainline games, FFTA would easily be my favorite

@orbalology Год назад

This is a game I really need to get ahold of!!

@IfOUGHTpIRANHAz Год назад

Aw yeah! No one ever talks about Guardian Legend! My best friend had that game as a kid.

@orbalology Год назад

I had never heard of this game prior to David mentioning it - looks really neat!

@greatrulo Год назад

I have to agree with BacklogBattle, Castlevania SotN is also my go to game when it comes to nostalgia, it never gets old, I might throw in another game in the franchise now and then, too.

@orbalology Год назад

I'll have to make time to play SotN at some point - I love the vibes and it looks fun :)

@justinu1182 Год назад

@Ngamergal Год назад

Great Colab ff 6 is definitely my favorite childhood game.

@vlogginggamingandcoding Год назад

Link to the past was the best SNES adventure game which is unique in a way that it was one of the first SNES games released. I remember some people played through the entire game in a store where they had it displayed with the newly released SNES console. Back then no one stole the cardridge, no one destroyed save files. It was just sitting on a desk there. I played it few years later after I had learnt enough English. Times indeed were different when I was a kid. Honorable mentions to Ocarina of Time too.

@orbalology Год назад

Oh that sounds like such a cool community effort on your local SNES display kiosk!

@ScorpioCesarcade Год назад

This was such a beautiful topic to cover Emily, everyone here had such a varied selection of picks from their childhood. Some of these I experienced in my early teen years and it made me feel old. XD Going to have to check out a few of these that I missed out on.

@orbalology Год назад

Lol, I want to say we're similar in age so I felt a bit old with some of these picks too 😂😆

@mr.h77799 Год назад

Awesome Collab!! It was nice seeing all the classic games. I definitely have a soft spot for Lord of the Rings Return of the King I remember playing it with my dad a lot on GameCube and we always had a blast!

@orbalology Год назад

Very cool! I don't remember if my brother and I played LotR Return of the King or just Fellowship & Two Towers on the PS2, but I remember at least Two Towers being pretty awesome.

@yapkfmichael6231 Год назад

@DanSutherland Год назад

I've never really heard much about the Guardian Legend before, now I need to check it out! Sounds cool! My pick is still my favourite game of all time, Jak II on the PS2. Some others that still hold up are the Genesis Sonic games, Ristar, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (or at least it's a guilty pleasure, I just enjoy a simpler fighter), Phantasy Star on the Master System, along with OOT, Majora's Mask still is a fantastic play. I am happy to play gen 1 and 3 of Pokemon pretty much any day. The Crash and Spyro games on PS1, Ape Escape, Megaman Legends. Dance Dance Revolution MAX, Final Fantasy XII, Ratchtet and Clank series, Sly Series, Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock, Marvel VS Capcom 2, Shadow Of The Colossus (also the GOAT), Spider-Man games, Star Wars Battlefront II on PS2. Super Smash Bros. Melee, Custom Robo on Gamecube (honestly a strong contender for favourite of all time), Metroid Prime, NBA Street. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is another killer that almost takes favourite of all time! DOOM, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, Majesty, some really simple games like Centipede, N++, Break-Out. There's probably lots more I'm forgetting tbh.

@90shandheldgamer Год назад

Awesome video. Its cool seeing everyones favorite childhood games. I recently repurchased Pokemon colloseum because although i liked it as a kid it was too brutal for 11 year old me.

@orbalology Год назад

Awesome! Yeah I had a few games that I remember not making a ton of progress in because of the difficulty level as a child but still enjoyed nevertheless :)

@nodenaatti5281 Год назад

Mine is Twilight Princess. It best encapsulates the sense of an epic adventure of the Zeldas in my opinion. The dungeons are wonderfully set up and, especially as a child, felt so large (and frightening) in scale. It’s always great when Zelda manages to create a sense of adventure and it is prevalent in TotK playing it right now. I won’t ever forget how Twilight Princess first sucked me in. Thanks for the video Emily and all collaborators!

@orbalology Год назад

Thanks for watching! I really hope that rumored Twilight Princess/Wind Waker HD pack comes out on the Switch sometime so I can experience them 🥲

@borrellipatrick Год назад

Proud at seeing your channel grow to the point that you have guests in your videos now 🤓 A pick for a game from my childhood that i like go back to that shaped my taste in games would be Earthbound. Got the game back in 1995, another kid in the neighborhood received it and hated it and gave it to me 🤓 Thought it was cool after smash bros melee and brawl released and people started looking for the game or playing it on emulator and became that cult classic that it's known as today. Because of that game though, it made me like odd and quirky games more than whats popular. If is see a game that looks weird, i gotta go check it out 😅 Got to your pick, A Link to the Past was on one of games we got with our super nintendo in 1993. Game's tied to my "best zelda pick with Ocarina of time" Get told that i cant have 2 games as my #1 pick but it's so hard. Both games are very important in the Zelda series and well, games in general.

@orbalology Год назад

It's been such a cool opportunity to put videos like this together. Ah, Earthbound is a game I need to try out someday! It really looks super charming & something I would probably like too :)

Grandia 2, have fond memories of this game, Melfice was a brilliant bad guy and just the story, I loved it. Ocarina of time is another game I have fond memories of, the sense of adventure it gave you when you went out into the world and the sense of achievement when you completed a temple.

@orbalology Год назад

Grandia 2 is a game I really want to try! Looks like an awesome adventure with a wholesome story 😁

The Guardian Legend was definitely one of the best games of the NES. Way ahead of its time in my opinion. I've played some of the other games mentioned but I am very surprised to hear this one being mentioned. Great collab everyone. I really enjoy these collab vids. 🙃

@orbalology Год назад

The Guardian Legend looks really neat! It's one I never heard of though admittedly my knowledge of the NES is very limited. It was really cool to hear David talk about it!

@Sronmars_Den Год назад

@@orbalology Well, if you ever wanna try a hidden gem for the NES, then that's a solid choice. David recommended it and I can say (since I played it so much as a kid) that it's an excellent choice.

I don't play much game in my childhood because my parents wants their children to prioritize studying 😅 The only game that I finished at that time is Ninja Gaiden on Sega Game Gear. But, now I often play JRPGs as it also has challenging boss fights too. Thank you, Emily, for sharing your childhood fave game..😊

I didn't expect to see Kiseki nut here lol EDIT: Wow someone mentioned Return of the King? What a chad. The PS2 licensed LOTR games were actually amazing, Two Towers/Return of the King/Third Age were all excellent. I actually recommend Third Age to anyone that likes JRPGS, as that game is literally FFX but in Middle Earth

@orbalology Год назад

Agreed! The LOTR games were really such gems back then.

Love to see Guardian Legend getting more mentions these days! I only found out about it a few years back when I got my NES and it blew me away! Feels like a modern indie throwback, just wish it had a normal save system rather than those overly long passwords. Still easy top 5 on the system.

@orbalology Год назад

I had never heard of Guardian Legend prior to David mentioning it so it was great discovering it through this video. Really looks like such a unique title!

@elikapourales9824 Год назад

@@orbalology just reached the end of the vid and as someone who also grew up on LTTP, you would feel right at home with guardian legend. It's very similar in terms of the exploration, map system, boss patterns, and weapons/health items

@DavidRBrown7 Год назад

Thanks for an interesting video. One of the games from my youth that I thought was great was an arcade shooter game called Sinistar. It was a bit different from other games as the enemies you fight build a giant monster spaceship called the Sinistar that hunts you down if you allow it to be built. It is always possible to destroy the sinistar if you fail to stop its construction or cannot find the base, but it obviously becomes a boss battle at that point. There was a PC remake of it some years later but it was much easier that the original arcade game. Also not quite sure why youtube has suddenly changed my user name to not my name but part of my email.

@orbalology Год назад

Sounds like an interesting game! And yeah for the last couple weeks RU-vid seems to have done away with displaying usernames and now just shows channel @s in the comment section - you can change what yours shows in your user settings I believe!

@DavidRBrown7 Год назад

I haven't played the LotR game or that specific Harvest Moon(I played it on SNES but never followed the series and played games here and there) but I agree with pretty much everything announced. My favorite game came out in 1998 so not exactly childhood, but I was still in high school, Brigandine The Legend of Forsena is still my favorite of all time. Brigandine The Legend of Runersia which is imo is worse than Forsena and Grand Edition, is still a great game because despite some issues that it has around changes in how statistics are and equipment are handled, the core game, pretty much everything else is just like the original Brigandine. Brigandine is a TRPG that is as much of a strategy game as it is an RPG. The game is a grand strategy game without all the busy work that is normally found within these games. Instead of a lot of busy work between battles, each castle you own gives you a certain amount of magic and the only thing outside of combat that the player needs to do is position the castles that each of your knights are located at as well as the the monsters that are under these knights control. It's an absolutely incredible game and Runersia despite instantly became one of my favorite games. I have a few videos added on my RU-vid around 10 years ago or so. Two different countries that I played back to back.
