i love video games. i think my first true memory of games, i must have been 4 years old. went to my friends apartment, late at night with my family, the whole room was darkened and everyone was crowded around the couch. an NES with zelda was being played by my friends father. shortly after that, memories of my dad playing zelda at our home.
but the first game i ever beat, Contra (NES). after my dad discovered the konami code, we had 30 lives and we just pounced on that game. i must have been 5 years. i remember being really into teenage mutant ninja turtles. (1992-1993)
