Here's Brett's bemused expression as our mom absolutely SHATTERED both of our top scores and keep on going.

After Brett and I had gone a few times, and gone back and forth beating each other's high scores, my mom put the headset on for a try.

Got a new video game called Witcher 2 that had nudity in it!

They had an exhibit on Phantasy Star! This was the first RPG I ever played and it had a bigger impact on me than any other game I played growing up!

Phantasy Star was also the first videogame to feature dungeons with a first-person view. I can still hear the music from 1987 in my mind.
videogames
It was like a museum of my childhood.

Speaking of music I can hear in my mind, it was fantastic to watch little kids play Super Mario Bros for the first time and see that it still totally holds up to fresh eyes.
