When I was in kindergarten, there was a puppet show called The Great Space Coaster, which starred a space clown named Baxter and had a "news segment" starring Gary Gnu. My favorite characters on Sesame Street were Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch. Watching Cookie Monster demolish those cookies always made me want Chips Ahoy. But other than that, I didn't watch a lot of TV tailored for little kids. I preferred Garfield and Ninja Turtles over Muppets, and I used to watch the Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show.

One other favorite kids' show I had was local to the Phoenix TV market, Wallace and Ladmo. They were on TV for 35 years starting in the 1960s. They did a lot of shows from a local theme park, Legend City. They gave away paper goodie bags known as Ladmo bags, which became such a staple in Phoenix that lunch bags at the Maricopa County Jail were apparently known as Ladmo bags. One time they had rock star Alice Cooper (a longtime Phoenix resident) on the show and gave him a Ladmo bag.

I would call "the best" a toss-up between Yars' Revenge and Solaris, which was good enough to hang wiith the NES games that were coming out at the time. And the NES didn't have a lot in the way of space sims.

Vision of Mana, Ys X, and Paper Mario are my most wanted games of the moment. 

It's on Switch and PS4. 

SMRPG was great. My GOTY is Tears of the Kingdom, though. 

On the subject of RPG remakes, Star Ocean: The Second Story R was an amazing remake that had a lot of care put into it. 

I found a three-in-one cartridge of Dragon Quest I-III in Maine while I was visiting Ranger, another former 1UP acquaintance. I picked it up. It's in English and everything.

Fire Emblem Engage was great, I loved it. It's my favorite game of the year other than Tears of the Kingdom and *maybe* SMRPG and Baldur's Gate 3. Also liked Advance Wars a lot. I actually first played a game like that on NES called Desert Commander. It was made by Kemco, as we didn't get Nintendo Wars localized.

They all are prone to drift. PS5, Xbox, and the joycons. The Switch Pro Controller works great, though.

I have a Switch Pro Controller. I've had it for four years and it still works perfectly, not the least hint of drift.
