Steven Kent’s Ultimate History of Video Games is fantastic. It’s a book everybody should read (and a book that needs to be updated for the past 15 years’ worth of history).

I got distracted lots, and my mom must’ve been so confused when I was on the bathroom for over an hour!

I remember when I got my GameBoy. My mom had attended my grandfather’s funeral (she didn’t want me going b/c she’d be crying too much and I’d end up crying with her), and I missed her a TON! I was six years old, and separation anxiety was still a thing for me. So when my mom got back, I saw something funny in her luggage. She said my grandfather’s last gift to me was the GameBoy.

I know that’s the intention, but he was long dead before my mom bought the thing. I was just so happy, though! I could barely contain myself! (to be honest, though, I was more happy my mom was home than I got the GameBoy, but I was happy I got that, too).

I filled up my Pokedex to 150, played every last Mega Man game, collected all the items in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, and played Yoshi’s Cookie forever! It was just so much fun to pop a copy of Mega Man IV into my GameBoy and just go through the levels, starting with Toad Man, collecting P-Chips for all the best items and extra E-Tanks!

And then omg Donkey Kong! Remember that game? Holy crap, it was one of the hardest games I ever played! I had to call up the Nintendo hotline, but accidentally dialed a 1-800 instead of 1-900 and accidentally called a sex hotline at the age of 11.

I’m pretty sure all those GameBoy games are lying around the house or the storage area somewhere… I wonder if I should find them?

For the longest time, I wanted a Pokemon Blue, so badly, I even dreamt about it. And lo and behold, my Birthday, and it was handed to me, Pokemon Blue! I was ecstatic beyond words. And even to this day, I remember the adventures that cartridge and I had, leveling up, getting Mew, battling with my other friends and UTTERLY DESTROYING THEIR SORRY EXCUSES FOR POKEMON…. ahhh… good times.

No lie my older brother received a game boy for Christmas. I was sitting right next to him when he unwrapped it and it was without a doubt it was the coolest gift I’ve ever seen. Tetris was the shit wasn’t it? Back in the day that game never got it.
