"McKids": First Retro Game my Brother and I Beat Together

Sat, 23 Mar 2019 11:37:06 +0000

A huge reason why I moved away from modern gaming was to find a hobby that my brother and I could bond over. He's big into Nintendo games, so his first venture into collecting was with the NES. Our first pickups for the system were Super Mario Bros 3, and McKids. That night we cranked through McKids and had a blast doing it. I could definitely tell that after that night, my brother's interest in all periods of gaming, rather than just the 2010s, peaked.

My PS2 box from back when I was a Child

Although I don't have the system anymore (Mom gave it away to a goodwill when I upgraded up to a 360), I still have the box. I remember how hyped I was getting this console for my birthday. I had it up until 2010, as I arrived kind of late to the 7th generation. I clocked in hundreds upon hundreds of hours into the system, and it never once had any issues. I don't really have the heart in me to throw it away, hopefully it's out there still kicking it!

"Aliens Vs. Predator": A Game I've Wanted for Years

Sat, 23 Mar 2019 11:36:51 +0000

I am a younger collector, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone when I say I lived my late childhood/pre-teen years on The Angry Video Game Nerd. He definitely helped me get interested in retro gaming. The Jaguar videos peaked my interest, mainly the AvP game for the jag. I coveted the game for years, and I'm happy to say that with my recent jaguar purchase, I fulfilled a small childhood wish. I played through the Predator story, and most of the Space Marine story, and let me tell you, it's just as great as I imagined it'd be back when I was 11.

"Phantasy Star Online Plus": My Rarest Game

Not much story to this one, but this is easily my rarest game that I own. I got this from a Gamecube lot that my friend sold me. It came with a bunch of other uncommon/rare games, but this one definitely caught my eye.

"Spyro the Dragon": My First Game

Sat, 23 Mar 2019 11:36:42 +0000

I grew up in the 6th generation of gaming, but my first system was my parent's PS1. I remember this being my first video game that I've ever played. I always remember having a good laugh just running into enemies and gliding from the highest points of each level. I picked this up when my retro game store had a PSX in stock. I still to this day have a blast with this game, easily my favorite collectathon game.
