Stuff I remember from my now-old and dust-covered NES collection...
-Trying to get through the fourth and seventh dungeons in the original Super Mario Bros., the ones where you had to follow a certain path or you'd end up going in circles.
-TKOing Mike Tyson in the second round in Punch-Out.
-Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. 'Nuff said.
-The second quest in the original Zelda game.
-Getting Super Pitfall and finding out just how FRIGGIN' BAD a game with "Pitfall" in the title could be.
-Using up three dollars worth of tokens on the PlayChoice 10 arcade machine just so I could play Super Mario 3 in one long stretch.
-"The truck have started to move"(Metal Gear), that ranks RIGHT UP THERE with "All your base are belong to us" in bad-translation folklore.
-Pro Wrestling. STARMAN~!
-Finally completing Blaster Master, THE LONGEST GAME EVER where you've only got three lives and three continues to work with.
-How FRIGGIN' HARD Ghosts 'N' Goblins was.
-When Ninja Turtles 2 was the greatest game I'd ever seen.
-Crystalis, one of the most underrated NES games ever.
-How cool the Power Glove looked and how much it sucked when I actually tried to play games with it.
