I was born May 17th, 1986, just after the revolutionizing release of "The Legend of Zelda," for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) on February, 21st, 1986. The August 6th release of the first of a series of amazing games, Metroid, would soon be approaching. As the son of a console gamer and computer programmer, it's no wonder I would grow up to be what I am today - a gamer.
At a young age, my sister and I received the privilage to use my father's Commodore 64. This was my first introduction into the world of computers, and ultimately, the world of gaming.
As I was grew older, my father started a Computer Software company known as BrainWare Inc. As he babysat me in the store, I'm sure his busy schedule didn't allow him to pay too much attention to me, hence, he needed something to keep me occupied. Young as I was, I was taught how to navigate MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows 3.1. Whenever I was at my father's store, you could bet I was using one of the three computers, in the center of the store, playing a computer game.
My Father and Uncle heretofore convened on what seemed like every other day. They would hang out and play video games all night, while my cousin Brandon and I hung out. When I got tired at the end of the night, I would go upstairs and "sleep." There was, however a balcony upstairs, overlooking the room in which my father and uncle played NES games on a large screen television...so, I stayed up watching them play.
As time went by, I became more and more involved with video games. My friends and I would meet up and play almost daily. As the gaming industry grew, so did we. Eventually, I got a Gameboy, a Sega Genesis, and a Playstation. I feel like I was always behind on the times each time I received a new console, but I believe I've caught up over the years. Now, I happen to be in posession of a Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, and Playstation 2. Well, not quite caught up. Today, there's still the Nintendo Gamecube, X-Box, X-Box 360 for me to purchase.
Not too many years ago, I went into an arcade near me, "Sports Plus," and I noticed a different sort of game. Of course, I was instantly drawn. At least that's how I remember it. Long story short, the game was "Dance Dance Revolution" (hereafter known as DDR). I started playing, got better, and over the years, I've become decent at this silly, dancing game. Despite the fact that I eventually found a new and better arcade to play DDR, "Castle Golf", the game grew somewhat tedious, the same songs becoming immoderately effortless and undemanding with excessive practice. I began playing "In the Groove" (hereafter known as ITG), a variation of DDR which was seemingly more challanging. As I found out, it was, indeed, more difficult. Even today, I can get exhausted and frustrated playing the game.
Recently, the Nintendo Wii (which used to and may still be referred to as Nintendo Revolution) has been released. It's pretty fun, but I don't plan on buying one anytime soon. I have however, just purchased an XBOX 360, which I'm currently enjoying.
