My first videogame experiences came in 1985 when I was 4 years old and I started playing 2600 Pacman and Ms. Pacman. I would play with the switches and make it to where there was only 1 ghost because I was a pussy and the difficulty was too much for my 4-year old mind. I also played Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark, and Word Blaster, and some Rubik's cube game that sucked.

Later I started going out by myself and around 7 years old I'd go accross the street to a gas station and play on a Pacman arcade game, Donkey Kong, and Jungle King (I noticed the games looked much better than the games on my 2600 right away)

Then one day they moved in 3 new arcade machines and I was mesmerized... Punch Out!!, Star Wars Arcade, and Super Fucking Mario Bros. The Mario game left the biggest impact on me... the graphics and sounds were like nothing I had ever seen before. The gameplay was AWESOME. I remember my first failed attempts, I saw that the starman would make you invincible, then tried running into enemies as fire mario and found that didn't work as well.

Then one day a friend invited me over to play his new "Nintendo" and it BLEW MY MIND. Super Mario Bros, right at home, no quarters required. I begged my dad and begged and begged for this "nintendo"
