Wow.. how long was that gap of time from when you played Zelda II and realized your mistake?

Did you ever notice the big "II" in the title? 

Well it's acceptable i guess, because i thought as a kid that Super Mario World was the first one so don't feel stupid.

" The gap between me playing the game and realizing my mistake was 19 years.  I guess I did notice the big "II" on the cartridge, but later forgot about it and thought I had played the first Zelda. "

As a child I didn't realize that Final Fantasy VII was the seventh final fantasy game. It was the first one I had played or heard of - and it seemed totally crazy that any game could have 7 sequels, so I just thought that it was a weird & bizarre name the developers had come up with.

i thought Megaman X4 was the first Megaman X game because it was the first one on Playstation :(

" This was the first Zelda game I played as a kid.  I always thought I was playing the first Legend of Zelda.  I found out my error many years later when I was playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl and  I unlocked a very short demo of The Legend of Zelda.  Damn, that game's even harder than the second one! "
