In RPGMaker 2k when I was like, 12 or 13, I got REALLY into it and did like all kinds of custom battle systems, sprites, etc.
Even made like, quick time event cutscenes with awesome sprite sword matches. I wish I still had those, they were actually cool, but I lost the whole thing to a virus (this was before I realized I should BACK. UP. EVERYTHING.)
The few people I did show it to loved them. There was like a whole RE4-like knife fight event like duel I did.
