I was smack dab in the middle of high school in 1993.  I didn't know about Wallace and Gromit until I was in college.  One evening when I was by myself in the dorm, I was flipping TV channels and came across this weird show on PBS with a silent clay animated penguin (The Wrong Trousers).  I told my roommate and other friends later about what I saw, but didn't think anything of it other than that.  But a few weeks later, they had a stop motion animated film festival on campus.  One thing I miss about college is activities like that.  They don't do stuff like that in the suburbs!  Anyway, that film festival showed both The Wrong Trouses and A Close Shave, which was fairly new at the time.  And after that I was an Aardman fan.  I watch pretty much anything they do, including commercials like the talking Chevron cars and Serta mattress sheep.

I never got into this game much as a kid for some reason.  It was just too hard for Little Cary.  I do love the fact that the ridiculous story was perfectly acceptable back then, but probably not now.  I'd like to play the Blaster Master Zero games that Inti Creates put on Switch, but like I said, I never got into the franchise much and you can't play all the games out there!

I think most games started off in the arcade back then.  But I have better memories with arcade games over a lot of NES games because I went to a lot of arcades back then.

I didn't pick the Wolfman in Contra Hard Corps, but I'd totally pick the panda in the new Contra game that just came out.

Like I said before, if I had an Xbox One, Rare Replay would be one of the games I'd get right away.

I remember my friend and I renting Snake, Rattle, and Roll and Solar Jetman.  I liked Snake, Rattle, and Roll because it reminded me of Marble Madness, but it was very hard.  My friend and I cracked the password system in Solar Jetman and we thought we were really cool for doing so.  

Battletoads is known as one of the hardest NES games.  My local Pizza Inn had the Battletoads arcade game for a while.  I enjoyed that one more.  That's the cool thing about that Pizza Inn is that they always had some obscure arcade games in the back!

I don't listen to any podcasts!  Just don't have time.  I wish I could make my own, but I lack the time and knowhow.

Wolfenstein was really big when I was a teen.  Especially since it was created in the town where I live.

I remember that They Might Be Giants album.

It's been a LONG time since I rented it, but I do remember that Daffy Duck game being hard.  Not impossible, but still very hard.

I probably won't get it right away.  Maybe wait until a sale or enough games come out for it that I want.  Did they announce the price?

My favorite video game console, the SNES, came out in 1991.  I remember when I got it, too.  This was before strict console release dates were a thing, so I got it about 2 weeks before most stores did at a Canton, TX trade fair.  I got it 20 bucks cheaper, too!  And the first game I played on it was not Super Mario World, but Gradius 3!
