A very early minigame collection. All I ever wanted to play as a kid was the hacky sack game.

Banger soundtrack. I remember this being an okay board game? I loved spelling bees as a kid so I was always excited to get the spelling challenges.

The structure of this game is very strange. I love that Gilligan follows you everywhere and constantly falls into holes. Absolute garbage, of course.

This game was extremely cool to me when I was 5. I'm pretty sure there are other versions of this type of racer from the same era that are better. Especially if you're looking at arcade games.

Had this as a kid and remember really liking it. No idea how it holds up these days. Maybe I'll try it out again some other time.

I'm just now realizing how prevalent Bartman was in Simpsons merchandising in the early 90s considering how Bartman is in, what, a single scene of season 2?

Just like the other two NES Simpsons games... this isn't very good. This is the one I played the least since I only rented it once or twice back in the day.

I wouldn't say this NES Simpsons game is very good either, but this is the one I liked the most as a kid. The initial ship level is burned into my brain. I liked being able to fly around as Bartman.

This game sucks ass. But also I love The Simpsons and I had this game as a kid, so I tried very hard to like it. I could collect all of the purple items in the first level and that was about as far as I ever got.

It's cute. Also hard to review these kinds of games because... what metrics am I putting it up against? The era it's from, in comparison to modern day stuff? Honestly to me it's just a cute game to play for a few minutes and then put down.

It's a simple game that asks for near-perfect execution of its mechanics. Another game that was actually popular with the adults when I was a kid. Still have yet to beat it.

I'm glad that this game got remade so I can play that version instead. The original is an ambitious and important game, but please do not ask me to play it in this day and age.

A fun first stage and a great beat on the pause screen can't save the rest of this game. Lots of technically impressive looking levels with a lot of unique gimmicks... but the game's difficulty is such horseshit. A game made to torment children.

A very simple game that's also incredible iconic, at least in the States. It was one of my favorite games as a kid simply because it was the only game that all of my grown up family members would actually want to play with me.

Previously I said that I think Super Mario Bros. 3 is the best NES game, but I think Kirby's Adventure comes extremely close. Really late release in the NES' life, but also one of the best designed and best looking. Love the music, the graphics, the Copy Abilities, the little story, everything. I think the only thing that's a little annoying these days is that you drop your Copy Ability every single time you take damage.

This is the NES Mega Man I've played the most. It was the first one I owned as a kid and so it was basically the only thing I played for 6 months. I think I still have some muscle memory for this game despite not playing it for at least 20 years.
