As some of you may or may not know, I love video games. I've been playing video games as early as the late 80s. Here's my list of video games I've played from there in the 80s.
.
Our first game console was the Atari. The Nintendo, Super Nintedo, Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Sega Dreamcast and lastly Xbox 360. I haven't played a video game since 2015.

๐ŸŽฎVideo Games๐ŸŽฎ

Castlevania- This game was one of our favorites. I think this was our first horror video game. You had to face all of the horror icons in order to get to the main villain which is Count Dracula.
Donkey Kong- This game was the sh*t.
Double Dragon- I think this was our first combat fighting game. Billy and Jimmy Lee! I love this game!
๐Ÿ’–Duck Hunt- If you didn't own Mario, you might not know about this game. When we bought Mario, this game was the other game that we could play. We even owned the orange and grey gun for this game.
Final Fight- I love this game! Mike Haggard is an ex wrestler turned mayor who kicks *ss on the streets!
Galaga- Another classic our household enjoyed. Mom loved this game.
Galaxian- Same as above. Mom loved this game.
๐Ÿ’–Mario Bros- Dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunna! Late 80s I was playing this game with Duck Hunt on the other side.
Mega Man- I love this game! Again, we've pretty much played the entire series!
Ms. Pac Man- Mom was obsessed with this game.
Pac Man- Same as above
Paperboy- We had to throw paper on the doorsteps!
Rambo- I remember this game! I think we owned it or rented it, can't remember.
Super Mario Bros- We love the Mario Bros!!
Gradius III- This game is one of my favorites. It was really hard but the music was really good. I used to sing to it. lol
Pole Position- I remember playing this game a long time ago. Just forgot the name of it. I remember running all off the damn road too. Ugh...
The Goonies II- Guys... I have been looking for the title of this game, along with the cover art for damn near thirty years. I couldn't figure out what the name of it was but I did have the vision of the cover art for decades. I told my brother, I think it was a Goonies game. And when I googled it, there it was. I remember a girl down the street had this game and we played it in her room, and in my brother's.
