Two reasons why Dream Course was the first Kirby game that got me into the series.  One, most of the Kirby games prior were on the Game Boy or NES.  And I was knee-deep in SNES territory (again, kid with a limited income so I couldn't afford to buy a bunch of games for multiple consoles).  So Dream Course being one of the first SNES Kirby games helped.  Also, Kirby's Dream Course is a reworked version of a never released game called Special Tee Shot.  I was interested in that first game ever since I saw screens of it on the back of my SNES box.  It looked like a mix of Marble Madness and mini-golf.  So that's why I played it. 

It may be hard to believe since I'm such a big Kirby fan now, but I wasn't sold on the original Kirby game when it came out.  Oh sure, I had my eye on it, being a game from HAL and all, especially since back then I was a huge fan of the Adventures of Lolo games.  And I also appreciated how it was a game designed to be easy for younger players.  However, back then I was just a kid with a limited income, and paying money for a game I could beat in an hour just didn't make much sense back then.  Really, the first Kirby game to get me hooked on the series was Kirby's Dream Course!

I think my Smash Bros. go-tos will be Pac-Man, Kirby, and Mega Man.

I don't know anything about Resident Evil but my favorite character is Jill because I like calling her Jill Sandwich.

Well, you can at least read my birthday blog when I post it later this week. :)

There were a lot of games I had on my Apple II+ that I had no idea how I got.  I think there was a lot of copying back then.

Wizardry is very popular in Japan.

Oh I'm just joking with you.  My birthday is Sept. 15.

Yeah I don't know.  I didn't get to see ALL the games at PAX.

Your favorite holiday is coming up?  It's my birthday, right? :)

I haven't even been keeping up with GamerGate at all.  I kind of feel bad, like I'm not doing my job as a games 'journalist'.  But I'm just having too much fun playing Professor Layton vs. Pheonix Wright.
