Yeah I never played that game either until on Taito Legends.  I imagine it was just a by-product of the popularity of Space Invaders.

To this day, 1943 is one of my all time favorite shooters.

Yeah the controls were not as good on the NES version, but otherwise it was a pretty good port.  Did you know Rare programmed the NES version?  It's just a testament to how much I liked Marble Madness if I had the NES version.

I reviewed both Koronipa games on the Wii.  Hudson made those games, may they rest in peace.

I had an Apple II PC as well as a kid back then!  It was our first home computer and my first 'game console' as well.  

I LOVED Marble Madness!  I even had the NES version.

I also liked Gauntlet, but I didn't play it as much in arcades because usually the bigger kids hogged it.

Hooray for Chocobos!  You ever wonder if Big Bird is a Chocobo?

When I wear my Mega Man shirt, I get a lot of compliments about it from guys, "Cool shirt, man!"  When I wear my Kingdom Hearts shirt, I get a lot of compliments from ladies, I've noticed.

Borderlands 3 was pretty big at PAX.  I got a mask at their booth that I gave to my brother Jeff.  Gearbox makes those games, right?  That company is just a couple of miles from my house.

So out of curiosity, do you remember any games that I've reviewed that saved you from buying them?

Of course I would name my pet moose Bullwinkle.  What else would you name a moose?  I'm not sure a moose would like the Texas heat, though.

I didn't even know there was a GamerDad news feed!

I just really liked that they put references to Servebots in there.  Love those guys.

Yeah as a kid, I didn't really notice a crash either.
