2002 wasn't a great year, as I was still reeling from the year before.  But at least nothing new had happaned that was bad.  Since I wasn't writing for the newspaper anymore, my friend made a little web site that I wrote some reviews on, but it paled in comparison to what I was doing before.  

Two big games I remember playing in 2002 were The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and the first Animal Crossing game.  At the time, I felt I was the only person who LIKED Wind Waker's style.  And I don't think anything needs to be said about Animal Crossing.  The first one is still one of my top five favorite games of all time.  Mainly because you could play NES games on it!  My birthday was especially sucky that year, but on my birthday in Animal Crossing, Prince the frog showed up at my door to give me my birthday present, the NES game Donkey Kong!  Sadly, that was probably one of the best things I got that year for my birthday!

Luckily, things started getting better in 2003, but I'll get to that when you write your blog for that year.

I think I reviewed Spirit of the North a long time ago when it was on the Wii U.  Is that the one about Alaskan folklore?

We'll have to plan on visiting each other's AC towns sometime.  It may take a bit of pre-planning since I imagine we are both busy with work right now.  I'd love to help you out in that game in any way I can.  That's what I like about Animal Crossing is that you can 'help' people without lifiting a finger. :)

I never really got into this game but there's no denying its popularity.  I saw it everywhere in arcades.  Even grocery stores had it.  I think it's interesting that it's based off a movie in Japan and there was a NES sequel and Game Boy spinoff.  Also a spiritual sequel in the arcades called Vigilante I think.

That's the first thing I would do is find the other player to see what they look like.

And what's with every game having to have a mine cart level?  Nobody likes those either!

And Moto Roader isn't very Moto either.  Wait that didn't make any sense!

Can't wait to read it.  I was never a big fan of Kung Fu Master, but it sure was popular back then!

I wonder if the TG-16 Mini will be hard to find?

I can just see two people playing that, "Hey, where are you in the maze?"  "I don't know, where are you?"

Multiplayer sounds like it could be a disaster in that kind of game!

I don't think I've liked any first person dungeon crawling game.  That's what turned me off of the first Phantasy Star.
