Description
Sly Cooper is my childhood hero.Fun story;
When I was a little girl I obsessed trying to beat the first game on my PS2 (which my late grandfather gifted me). Once when my mother had picked me up from school, I was talking and being young bouncy me. She asked "What do you wanna be when you grow up?" and I replied after a hum "I wanna be a thief like Sly Cooper!" and she understandably got angry.

Oh my gosh, Sly Cooper! I don't think I've played that game in a looooong time! I think I used to play it on my neighbor's computer, though I wasn't very good and kept losing on the first stage.
...then again, It may have been an entirely different game I played back then. I was only around 6 or 7 years old when I played it, and my memory from those days is more than a little fuzzy...
I also like the story in the description. :3

I'm not sure if they have a version for the computer- but they have a version of Psychonauts for the computer so wouldn't surprise me if there was a Sly one!
Fond memories over video games are just the best, man. I remember I didn't have a memory card on my SP2 so I couldn't save. So what I would do whenever I wanted to try for completion (it took me years to get past stage two, I was that little) I would leave my PS2 on all night. I've played the first and second stage so darn much, lol. The day I finally beat it was like dying and going to Heaven. <3

Ha, I know the feeling! There's been a couple of tough games or level's that were teeth-grindingly hard to get past, and It was pure bliss when I finally won. <3
Though I think the most recent time I had that feeling was when I completed this one dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. It wasn't so much that it was hard, it was that I had figured out the level's puzzles and took on the boss after. I managed to just barely scrape through the boss battle and had saved the little forest critter I had to rescue. But after a few moments, I realized something was off: the screen stayed fixed on the little forest critter (with the little power-up you get as a reward for beating the level shining at the edge of the screen) like he was about to say something, but no words popped up on the screen. I waited and waited for something to happen, but nothing did, and the game wouldn't react to the controls, and it was at this point I realized that the game had just frozen on me. That little power-up at the edge of the screen felt like it was mocking me. I had to turn the game off and then on again and go through the ENTIRE level all over again because I made the terrible mistake of NOT SAVING THE GAME AT ANY POINT IN THE LEVEL. I was NOT. HAPPY. And I felt all smug when I beat the boss again and things played out as they should have the first time. I was like HA! TAKE THAT, GAME!

Oh man I hate when games freeze. Glad everything worked out in the end, though
