My lazy summer afternoons were that much more special. Sure, the nationhood kids were all talking about their Excite Bikes, and Megamans, but I didn’t care what they said, because I was perfectly happy playing my Rambo 2 and Gangster Town (and finally Double Dragon) Sure the games were a lot harder to find, but that was okay, it made it more of an adventure. Whatever the reason, I got my Sega Master System! And as sub-par as many of the games were, I enjoyed the Hell out that thing. Or maybe I was dropped too many times as a kid. Or maybe it was the fact that the SMS was offering a free copy of Double Dragon as a selling scam (I had to wait three months for that game to get mailed to me). In other words, what the Hell was I thinking? Maybe it was the sleek black and red design that caught my eye as opposed the boxy gray and white design of the NES. I wanted the Sega Master System, the system known for such hits as… Um… hmmm… No, of course not! Those games were for kids. Did I want a Nintendo Entertainment System, the game system known for such hits like Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda, and Metroid. I thought for a moment, searching my inner soul for what I really wanted. My father came and asked me in his usual Foghorn Leghorn like voice, “Boy, I say, Boy! Whatcha want for Christmas? You want one of those Nintegros?” The year was 1988, I had just turned twelve, and it was Christmas time.
