The Beetlejuice cartoon won an Emmy back then.

I've never used Twitter.

I remember Block Block on the Capcom collection.  You could also play it on the Capcom Puzzle Collection that also included Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo on the PSP.  I prefer Arkanoid, though.  

Super Mario RPG was a big deal back then because it was a joint venture from Square and Nintendo.  Even though there are other Mario RPGs I like better now, Super Mario RPG is still an excellent game and I played it to death.

Super Mario 64 was pretty amazing back then, too.  I remember getting it when I was in college.  It's one of the few Mario games I've gotten all the stars on.

All right, you're going to hate me, but I'm going to see if you can guess my favorite King of Fighters characters now!

Tomb Raider was such a big deal back then.  I like the idea of a female Indiana Jones type character, but the games just didn't appeal to me.  Maybe if Lara Croft had a pink dinosaur sidekick who threw cupcakes at bad guys or something.

Donkey Kong Country 3 was a special game to me because it was one of the first games I reviewed for The Dallas Morning News.  Yeah that's how long I've been doing this. :)

Since I've been blind in my left eye since birth, I never did any of the Virtual Boy stuff

Bass trombone.

I was sad I wasn't able to get a NES Classic Edition, but not too sad because most of my personal NES favorites were not on there.  I liked Capcom's Disney games like DuckTales and Rescue Rangers, and also their Mega Man series.  I think I liked Mega Man more than Mario.  I also liked the Adventures of Lolo games (I liked HAL before they were cool), and Capcom's Little Nemo: The Dream Master.

I just got Lost Sphear and Dissidia Final Fantasy NT on PS4 but I haven't played them yet.  Other PS4 games I'm looking forward to include Secret of Mana, Dragon's Crown Pro, and Soul Calibur 6.

Between the summer of middle school and high school, I went to a band camp where we stayed in college dorms while the students were out.  In the dorm lobby there were arcade games.  Track & Field, Black Tiger, and some generic shooter.  I learned all the secrets of Track & Field that week, and also played a lot of Black Tiger.  It is cheap, but I enjoyed it anyway.  There is a PC Engine game called Son Son 2 that basically plays like Black Tiger.

How could Ookla pull a joystick out of an arcade machine that used a trackball? :)

Centipede was always my dad's favorite classic arcade game.  When we would go to arcades as a family, my mom would go to the Frogger machine, I would of course, go to Pac-Man, but my dad would make a beeline for Centipede.

Centipede has gotten quite a few updates over the years.  I think the first arcade sequel i ever saw for anything was Millipede.  I played a Centipede update on the PSOne that almost got a cartoon based on it, and the most recent Centipede update was on the Wii U and WayForward made it!

I can't get that 'shoot all the mushrooms' achievement either.

So Orchid is Killer Instinct and Jade is Mortal Kombat, right?  I could've gotten them wrong myself.
