Sheesh. I didn't realize I was only two years older. Weird since I had an Atari 2600 before my Mom bought me an NES.

I played the hell out of line. I remember buying it at Service Merchandise, and waiting for it to come down that conveyor belt and then waiting for the half hour drive home before I could play it.
And before that we would sometimes rent one and a few games for the weekend and Monday morning mine and my brother’s fingers would be blistered from nonstop playing.
