Reflecting on the memories I had playing puzzle games was with my brother and my cousin. Back then, our family wasn’t financially well off, so being able to afford an old computer was like opening a new experience for me. So my first game on the computer was Chicksaw puzzle, which is the game that requires assembling all of the puzzles together to create a full picture. That day, my brother invited a cousin to my family, and my cousin introduced me to this game, which enthralled us all. We basically had to assemble all of the pieces together to create a full picture, and there are many levels to complete. I once remembered the sensation that run through me when we first complete the first picture. It was magical and addicting, and we developed a strategy which I think is brilliant to this day, that is to finish the corner of the picture first with the pieces. Due to its characteristic, it really unishaped, it was easy to find the pieces to fill the corner, and then we slowly built the whole picture based on that foundation. I trained a little bit through my adolescent buddy like crazy, and we ended up playing to the evening when my parents called us to dinner. We almost cannot hear what our parents said, and it was a really good memory.
