    -Operation Wolf Dad would watch me play. He would bring other people to come in and watch how good I was. -Mario Golf Dad would play with us, he even kept a spreadsheet, on grid paper, to track his stats. -Ultima 3 First game on a PC. Mom got it to play with me and my little sister after Dad died. She couldn’t figure out how to get it to work. I ended up playing it alone years later, but only after learning enough MS-DOS to figure out how to even get it running. CD…

    Hug your parents. Play with your kids.

      My earliest memory is peeking over the guard rail of my toddler bed so that I could watch my dad play Gradius. He passed away 2 years ago and I miss him every day.

    I got a few.

    N64 command and conquer I can still hear the commando blowing up logo and saying that was left handed.

    Ocarina of Time

    Skies of Arcadia

    And kotor, but for some reason I remember the pazak mini game more than anything else.

      I loved that command and conquer game! It was actually my pivot point into PC gaming, because I picked up Red Alert 2 and there was no going back.

    Lion King on the SNES.

    I played. And played. And played. I took that game and system with me when I left home and I took it with me all across the country. And then I finally beat it on a 12 hour graveyard shift with a friend. We were on our last life and were going to be dead. And it happened. The only time in my life I ever beat the game was after 15 years of unsuccessful attempts.
