We weren't a wealthy family and I was pretty sure I wasn't going to get one. One day, though, about 5 days before Christmas my dad told me to go out and take the thrash to the curve. When I came back, on the table, was a brand new Nintendo Action Set (pic related.)

Those were the good fucking days when you'd get 2 controllers, 2 games, and even a light gun with your game system.

I was so happy and played the crap out of it. My dad would also play Super Mario Bros and he was the first one to rescue the princess. Those times we played together were some of the closest times we had. He later also played Zelda and Duck Hunt with me in highly competitive matches, but unfortunately when I started discovering more games like Mega Man and Castlevania he wasn't interested in them.

The Gameboy came out and I would see it in commercials. I asked for one, but unfortunately never got one. Instead I got a couple of those ninja turtle LCD games, the big green ones and Megaman 3 LCD.
When the SNES came out I of course knew I was probably not going to get one, and it sucked.

Then one day we went to my cousin's house and I played Sonic The Hedgehog 2. Those beautiful graphics, awesome stereo sound and lightning fast gameplay made me forget about the super nintendo. I wanted a sexy black sleek genesis. I set out, with my lawn mower and a tank of gas to mow lawns at $10 each until I could buy my Genesis. When I finally got it it was much more satisfying than any other game system I ever had.
