How did you discover MFGG?

[VinnyVideo]

I first discovered MFGG in August 2007! I'd been checking out some random guides on GameFAQs, and I stumbled upon a Mario Series Character Guide that mentioned a ROM hack called Mario Adventure. This piqued my interest, and I did some Googling around for that game. I also stumbled upon a site that hosted a lot of Mario fangames, including Super Mario Adventure. One of these games had a Readme file mentioning an interesting-sounding site called MFGG. More Googling ensued, and I eventually found my way to MFGG. I downloaded lots of games and libs and was a happy me.

I also discovered game-making tools (especially Game Maker 7) and started messing around with them. In 2008, I finally made an account on the MFGG mainsite once I had a fangame project that was ready to share with a wider audience. I wasn't too active on the community side of MFGG until 2009 or 2010, but since then I've checked MFGG just about every day.

Course clear! You got a card.
