Have you ever stopped and thought about how long it's been since systems like the TurboGrafx-16 and Genesis were released. Both of those sytems came out in the second half of 1989.
Close to 15 years ago.
Just seems kinda weird to me. It doesn't seem like it's been that long of a time period. Pretty amazing.
And when you are talking about video game time, it's like Dog years. 15 years is like 40 years when you are talking about video game time. Things change so drastically in the span of 5 or 10 years. But it just doesn't seem that long ago that I was playing a crappy basketball game called Pat Riley Basketball in an apartment in beautiful San Diego.
I was 19 or 20 years old at the time (I'm about to be 34 in a few months), and I really wasn't that huge of a video game nut then. I was a big time sports video game nut at the time. But I wasn't a overall video game nut. I remember getting the Genesis and Pat Riley Basketball from a friend of mine. Then I soon had Lakers vs. Celtics and then the big time game of John Madden Football. The original. I also had a TurboGrafx-16, and I remember playing alot of Splatterhouse and Legendary Axe and even Keith Courage.
Those were the good old days.
Just seems weird to think that all that happened almost 15 years ago.
