The very first game I remember playing regularly is Super Mario Bros. the one with Duck Hunt in the same cartridge. I still remember the first time I ever saw a Nintendo. I was about 8 or 9 years old and I was on my porch playing around and I fell. Before I was able to get up I saw my moms old Nintendo in a box. I had no idea what it was so when my mom woke up I asked her what it was. She told me it was her old game system I had never heard of a video game before so I asked her what it did so she hooked it up gave me the controller and let me play.
For some reason when I picked up that controller it was like second nature to me. I played those games all night long. Sometimes my grandma would play Duck Hunt with us and kick our ass from the back of the room. My sister was so good at Duck Hunt she could shoot the ducks before they could come out the grass I still don't know how she did it. I remember waiting till my mom and aunt went to work at night and my grandma would fall asleep. I would sneak into the front room turn the volume down and play till about 3 in the morning. In all that time I never beat the game till I was about 15 years old.
I remember my cousin showed me how to get infinite lives on one of the levels. I still couldn't beat that damn game. My aunt would try to beat the game before me so she would put me and my sister to bed early just so she had more time time play and beat it before me. I remember she did get close she got to the final castle but couldn't get to the boss. I played that game for a long time even when I got my Sega Genesis.
