When I was your age...
Jan. 24th, 2009 10:53 pmCarrie and I were late getting Hammie's birthday presents, so we decided to mail them to her. She likes getting mail so we figured getting an unexpected package would be fun for her.
Mom got Hammie an Nintendo DS and a couple of games. So, Carrie and I got her a couple of games as well. Carrie got her a Disney Princess game and I got her a Ninja Turtles game.
Because, you see, when I was young, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were very popular and when we finally got our NES, we got a Ninja Turtles game.
Nobody could beat it. Not my sister, not Jared, not Phillip. There was no question that I couldn't beat it. We've already discussed how I am not video game inclined.
We always died at the same part: the dam. I drowned so many times I should have a phobia of water. Once, once, Jared made it through the dam. Our happiness was short-lived because he got run over by a tank right after that. Then it was back to the beginning.
We weren't alone. It made the list of irritatingly impossible old school video games at Cracked. And, yes, it was the dam that they cited as being impossible.
Now I have no idea if there's a damn part on the new game I got for my niece. But if there is, then she can truly know what a little bit of her Aunt Kiki's childhood was like.
