@Banjo- thanks for that 🙂. It was truly a special time I always hold dear to my heart. I fully remember going to the video store on Friday night or Saturday morning knowing I was having a sleepover with a pal, or knowing my brother and I were going to try and beat a game that weekend. Those moments are unforgettable and something I'll cherish for an eternity.

Mostly to reconnect, if I'm being honest. There's also the fact that games were a more complete and finished product back then and the truly great ones will be worth your time no matter what decade we're in.

But nothing beats that feeling of booting up a game I used to play with my brother or best friend and instantly remember what it was like sitting on our bedroom floor, or basement trying to master those games. Contra, turtles II and IV, Mike Tysons Punchout, sunset riders, streets of Rage 2, smb3, and even some 64 games like golden eye, Mario party and Mario Kart all tug on those little nostalgic heart strings for me.

It's a simple fact life was easier when I was younger. I was care free, and got to indulge is any media as I saw fit back then. Video games were always #1 for me, and some of the best memories of my childhood were playing with my brother or best friend.
