Wow, you really took me on trip back to my child hood with this post. We didn't have a computer, but my best friend did and we would play these games constantly. In middle school, when the Nintendo was out, all of my friends and I would beg our parents for the same game and then have a contest to see who could beat it the first. Yeah, in those days there was no internet to help you out, just good old fashion persistence and ingenuity. Man did I love those days.

Some games that immediately come to mind were Ninja Gaiden and Mike Tyson's Punchout. I played both of these feverishly to be the first one to beat the game.

You've really allowed me to take a walk down the path of childhood innocence brother and remember a time when each day was a new wonder all unto it's self. . It's about time I brought that same level of excitement back to my life. Thank you!
