blown away: final fight, snes. huge sprites, and my cousin had his snes hooked up to a big stereo. the sounds and sights were massive and spot on; i didn't want to leave to go home. he had street fighter 2 as well (which we played afterwards, and i was equally impressed), but i gotta give it to final fight since it was the first one we played and it solidified my belief in the platform's capabilities. i remember looking at the cute little snes box and thinking 'i love you'. i was more than likely wearing blue jean shorts and a two-tone t-shirt.


shat away: popeye, atari 2600. as a grown man, it's a little surprising how deep the disdain and critical analysis ran in my 6 year old, first grader self. the arcade (cocktail at pizza hut) popeye was a white-knuckle nail-biter that looked like you were playing the cartoon. the atari 2600 version of the game... (this is 100% true, no exaggeration, i remember it like yesterday)... i spent probably as much time admiring the artwork on the cartridge label as i did playing the game, and i played it A LOT. i grew to like it, but i'll be damned if i wasn't struck with the kiddie version of the "life isn't always fair" realization when i first fired it up.
