Well I don't know any easy way to play them unfortunately. Unless you do the emulation thing.  But maybe you can try Reshrined one day.

Those Happy Meal toys look cute.  I was going to see the new Thor movie with my brother, but he went and saw it with friends so I guess I'll just wait until it hits Disney+.  Shouldn't be too long, since the new Dr. Strange movie came out on Disney+ a couple of weeks ago.  I'll probably see the Lightyear movie that way also.

Samba de Amigo IS a pretty cool game.  But no, my favorite SEGA characters are Ulala, Tails, and Ristar (Ristar's not a racer in the games, though).

Have you played any other games in the series?

You have a podcast?  Do you have a link to it?  I've gotten a podcast in the past year.  Here is a link to mine:

The Sonic racing games are really good.  Can you guess who my favorite SEGA characters are?

They are hard games.  But it's the 'good' kind of hard where you get a little further each time you play.

Yeah Mario 3 was when I first heard the word "Tanooki" but I had no idea what it meant.  It really wasn't until Tom Nook and Pom Poko before I started making the connections.

On special occaisions, we'd hook up the Apple ][+ to the Heathkit TV so we could play games in COLOR!

I've played most of those games on your ist, but not in the time period they were released.  During that time, I was playing games like, "Being Born," and "Pooping in my Diaper."

The first video game I probably played was Pong, but at the time I didn't realize it was a video game.  My dad built our first TV from a Heathkit parts catalog, and he instealled a Pong clone in it, so channel 3 was always set to Pong.  I didn't think it was a video game, just something you could do when there wasn't anything else on TV.

The first time I realized I was playing a video game was when I first played Pac-Man.  But by then the 70s were over.

One game from the 70s I really did enjoy as a little kid was Atari's Fire Truck.  But that probaby had more to do with how little kids just like fire trucks!
