I watched my family play. It was a way to bond with my father.

I inherited a Nintendo 64 with many accessories, controllers, and games from my late father.

That was almost 14 years ago, so don't feel sympathy for me; I'm fine.

I just wish I hadn't sold my special edition of the Legend of Zelda to Gamestop... the $5, I see now, was totally a ripoff.

The arts and the legend

[Kibaareyouok]

I always dabbled in video games because my older brother owned a NES and SNES. But it wasn't until I was nine years old that I saw one of my friends playing Pokemon Red. I had no idea what to do or where to go. It was the first time I had ever seen an overhead top-down view in a game, let alone an RPG.
The Kanto region seemed so huge, and I loved the Pokemon designs. What kid doesn't want a monster companion to raise into a fighting machine?
I played over 150 hours of Pokemon Red and completed the Pokedex. From there, I moved onto other games and other genres. It's been my hobby for almost 20 years and I hope for another 20 more.

My cousins had a snes and we would play Animaniacs, Mortal Combat, and Donkey Kong Country. Soon after my dad bought a snes for us but something was up with setting it up so he instead bought a N64. First games were A Bugs Life, F1 World Gran Prix, and Motocross.

Just the fact that they were fun and could played with your friends and family.

My cousin and I used to challenge each other on games he showed me Pokemon Minecraft Runescape so many games I play today are thanks to him.

[iiiijrockiiii]

Mario Duck Hunt. Just that simple. The gun, the dog, and the gun and dog. Was a golden time. I wish things could be that simple again.
