EarthBound Syndrome
You get this disease when you become completely insane over a game or show that nobody cared about, until some new thing brings it back and suddenly you're the most popular kid in school.
My brother turned into a total maniac over the original Mario Kart game after seeing it in a new game. Now he yells ‘Mario Kart! Let’s race!’ at every pizza delivery guy.
My dad got obsessed with the old Final Fantasy games after they came up in a new game. Now he wears a hat with the logo and yells ‘Let’s go, Squall!’ at his cat.
My friend turned into a total weirdo over the original Metal Gear Solid after it showed up in a new game. Now he hides in a closet and yells ‘Solid Snake!’ at me every day.
