I would play Mario and Duck Hunt every chance I could get for the few few weeks after receiving the system. Since we only had the one tv in the house it wasn't nearly enough, from my childhood perspective.<br /><br />Over the years my library slowely grew as I would often receive random games for birthday and christmas presents; Super Mario Brothers 2, Super Mario Brothers 3, Final Fantasy I, and Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode.<br /><br />When I wasn't playing video games at home, or asking to play them, I was likely playing them at my best friend, Brian's house. Well... when we weren't running around his parent's property getting into tons of trouble that is.<br /><br />And then the Super Nintendo came out, and of course Brian got one. I wanted to go over to his house for no other reason then to get a chance to play Super Mario World on the new system. Then one day he got Final Fantasy II, and my perception of video games changed forever...<br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7795415805939928496-4940665116927253290?l=sharpalignment.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SharpAlignmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08571576565965258519noreply@blogger.com0
