I am making this blog to record my last years with my dependence of electronics. I thought I would take us all back on a journey through time, if you were born in 1987 that is, you probably say "man" a lot, "cool" "sweet" "sick" and you often say "that's gay" when you see something you dislike. :-). Your style is more comfortable than anything but you know you look good anyway. Yes the 90s were cool shit, but first lets head back to 1987 when we were born! Oh these stories will follow the technology present in these times of my life..
1987, white suburbia, Canada....eh.:
Wow, box shaped cars, bad music, bad hair, Yes this was the late 80's, luckily I was merely an infant during this time hehe. I have very little memory of these first 2 years of my life..I remember laying on a bed, the room dark(as I am supposed to be sleeping) except the glow of a television screen, shining light onto my mothers face. She does not seem to notice me and is mesmerized by the game. This is a screen shot of the first memory I have in this large brain of mine.
Haha yes....The first memories of my life are my mother playing DD1 on the NES at 2 am!?
Ohhh wait maybe not, I have another memory near that time that is also vague, I believe a diaper change this time, I think my mother hands me this silver box thing. It seems so different from all the other ones I saw, something is different here I thought, what was this odd thing I chose to remember for the rest of my life?? Have a look!:
Yes! The original Zelda! I'm sure the silver cart is more RARE than the gold cart is. Its a shame I don't have it :(
So those are the 2 first things I can ever remember, Oh along with a whole handfull of Disney movies, The teenage mutant ninja turtles, Big wheels, Spiderman, Batman, bad music(again),Sega Master system.
Well first I had the NES.
And these were the games that frequented the screen when I was around 2 - 3.
I am a GOD at this game.
Hmmmmmm this looks familiar somehow...
??????
Haha yep that is 100% arnold, and pretty damn well 100% sylvester on Contra HAHA!
I am still waiting for the god damn movie to come out :-).
One time I thought I was Mario and ate some magical mushrooms, I didnt grow any bigger......but everyone else did :-O. (Don't Do Drugs)True Story....
Familiar Imagery.
This was fun when I was 2, now it is kinda old.....
These are the games I can remember around the age of 2, a 2 year old should not be playing contra by the way, I am surely violently deranged from it. Just dont let your kids play violent games when they are too young, no matter how kiddy the graphics look the idea gets across - Shoot weapon thing, bad guys go away. haha.
I remember being very young and my parents were watching Batman(1988) with me...I remember the death scenes haunted me haha again dont let your children sit in on the crazy movie.
As harmless as this comic book remake movie looks, it really isn't. Its violent and fucked uppp, I blame my psychological problems on watching this to young haha. Go watch it. Just not with your 2 year old.
Ok back to the NES, I will list the only games worth trying on it here! Behold the only NES roms you will ever need!
If I miss any I will surely add them later this list is just off the top of my head.
And I know Im going to miss a lot of yours "favourite" game. This list is just a list of games you will play from beginning to end, any skill level will enjoy these full games. Instead of playing for 20 seconds and closing the ROM you will play them through.
NOSTALGIA:
Ultimate List of NES Games you will play all the way through:
- Battletoads
- Battletoads vs Double dragon

I'm sorry if I missed your childhood all time favourite...These are just the games that a person would realistically want to play from beginning to end, the other NES games are no where near the caliber of these ones I have just listed. So go download these if you want to play a game worth playing. Warning tho, some of these games are pretty difficult. Don't get mad at the game because you cannot play it properly!
Ok that is the end of this post for now...It will be continued shortly, following up with some other forgotten technology!
Goodbye brothers and sisters, have a good one.
