Ahhh, this brought back such a strange memory of my dad telling me I'd never see stage 3 in Gradius III as a first or second grader! I don't remember the context, but I stopped playing it after that- what a strange thing to think about! I know I have at least one Parodius on hand, though, so I'll take your rec on it later! I'll have to look into Rocket Knight, too, I had no idea what sort of game that was!

@win1999 I have had a lot of play sessions with it too short to blog about- it's so easy to just pick up, and even easier to play "just one more round." Did the pizzeria have any other machines?

A lot of SHMUMPs that were really difficult (i particularly remember Raiden Fighters), Pac-Man, Frogger (another personal favorite, the the frog who's running late to work apparently: https://imgur.com/wait-was-frogger-businessman-what-did-he-do-living-5g87ec9) and a bootleg Tetris where you could only rotate counter-clockwise (so frustrating)
Writing about games is fun, you should! It's interesting to see what games other people are playing, more than just content about big new games! The update thing is weird, though- I was posting at a strange time yesterday!
yayyy!!! i've been wanting to talk about half-life for a while now so this is definitely the push that will probably get me to do it :D
