/vr/ - Retro Games

When I was 4, my father's co-worker gave him an NES full of AWESOME, collector's games. I'm talking SMB 1-3, Kid Icarus, Metroid, Duck Tales, Double Dragon, Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong Classics, Gyruss, TLOZ, Tiger-Heli, Zanac, Clash at Demonhead, Gyromite (with the arcade pad), Duck Hunt (with gun), just to name a few, so that I may play when I turn 5-6 years old.

I watched my dad play SMB 1 and 2. My god my dad loved SMB2. I remember watching him play it into the midnight hours.

And I loved playing Super Mario Bros 3. Loved it.

And that's where my love for video games started off.

It's unfortunate. Damien, the guy who gave my dad the NES and games, hasn't been in contact with my dad or any of his friends in about a decade. I hope he's good because if it wasn't for his gift, I don't know what or how I would be right now.
