GO GET ‘EM TIGER!

I was never good at video games. I can’t even last 3 minutes on those skateboarding games, and that’s just me by myself without anyone trying to kill me. I really suck.  The last time I found any enjoyment in video games was Sega Genesis and most of you guys reading this probably never even experienced Sonic or Altered Beast.  Man, I started out on Coleco Vision and Apple IIe floppy disks.  Lemonade Stand, Stellar 7, and Karateka are what I’m talkin’ about.

Anyways, remember these?  Seem pretty ridiculous in retrospect. Actually, I think at the time they were pretty lo-fi.  They would put so much into the artwork framing the screen to heighten the aesthetic appeal.  Kinda did the trick, sometimes.

    MAN i use to hate these things. entirely too difficult to play the fighting games on them due to tigher handhelds having a resolution worse than flip books of stick people.
