Man, I remember unwrapping the NES my parents got me for my birthday. I had three whole games. Duck hunt, Top gun, Mario. That was a nice hit of nostalgia.

Trying to land on the carrier in Top Gun brings back a hit of trauma.

We begged my dad to get us a Nintendo for Christmas. He’s like I think we should get a VCR.

Christmas morning we unwrap a VCR box, with a Nintendo box inside it.

Of course I think I probably cried before my dad pulled the Nintendo out.

Zelda was my favorite. Ten year old me played it so much I did the first quest with one life (which I think meant a single sitting as I don’t remember it having a save and exit option outside of dying).

But, never beat the second quest!

You can save and quit in Zelda, it just takes 2 controllers. You had to pause with controller 1 then hit Up+A on controller 2.

Wait what?? You couldn’t save in Zelda? Didn’t it at least give you a code you could enter later?

You could save and quit when you died. So to beat the game with one life, you had to do it in one sitting.

Or know the controller two trick someone posted. But I didn’t know that.

I think Zelda actually was the first game you could save.

Metroid used a code.

Yes it is. I put so many hours into that game as a kid into my teens trying to beat it.

I beat it hundreds of times as a teenager. Never played Chip&Dale, though.

I hated the last level in that game.
