Games I Played Growing Up

Came with the NES I got when I was four years old. Back then, Duck Hunt was the main appeal to me.

I remember being annoyed with the game for several reasons. For being a kids game, they really made it difficult. I hated that dam stage...

My first experience experience at the arcade involved this game. Such a quarter muncher...

Much better than the original NES game. A lot more characters from the cartoon/comics.

I remember my dad rented this when I was five. I thought it was funny seeing him stay up late to play it since he rarely played video games. Later on, my brother and I got it for Christmas and I got to enjoy it again. I have, sadly, never beat it.

I also started playing RCR only because my parents rented it. It didn't have the recognizable cartoon characters on it, so I didn't care about it at first. When my brother and I finally got around to playing it, we were hooked. Throwing enemies in ditches and hitting each other with trashcans... it had everything we were looking for.

Between TMNT sessions, I'd play Final Fight. The arcade cabinet was a little hard for six year old me to reach, but it didn't stop me from enjoying the life lessons it gave me. Hungry? Find a trash can!
