Video games from childhood...
I have this story for a comic. Only it's not really a story... okay it's a story in the very loosest sense but it's not about plot or things happening. So in this Not Story, the main guy character wants to talk to me about Video Games. In fact he's angry I don't remember more about them. And I've been thinking at some level, like a heavy process in the way back undeveloped areas of my brain meat and every now and then the character will pop up and make vague motions with his hands and tell me about Video Games right up in my head's security camera and it makes him hard to ignore but most of the time he's like "Where's Waldo" somewhere in the background of my mind. He's making fairly rude gestures and I think adding graffiti to all the buildings and and he does other stuff but it's all out of sight cause all he wants to talk to ME about is Video Games.
It's a little distracting. These Video Games mean more to this character then just what they were. And I'm not even sure if I can get what his points about life are from them but it all ties back into Video Games some how. I GET that he's young and that this stuff is important in some odd way but I'm worried cause I just can't seem to remember enough about the video games I played when I was young to fill in what this guy needs.
I've got Gauntlet the arcade game, and Legend of Zelda, and Sonic... the first one. I'm thinking Mario and Duck hunt and Ghouls and Goblins, and The first Metroid, and that rather silly bomb game you played with a robot or something? Wasn't there some sort of Maze game where you'd try to go through a maze? I think that one was on an early computer. Also maybe Ultima 4 for the early Macs or was that Might and Magic? It was in Black and White.
Of course Street Fighter 2 but it gets sort of vague after that cause I think this guy isn't much older then 12 or 13 and there's some level where the time frame and the games don't mesh.
For a fictional character he's driving me crazy. So I was going to ask you guys... What do you remember playing as a child that fits in with the games above. I know I'm missing a lot of stuff that came out around that time. Maybe Oregon Trail, Lemonade stand? Anyway, anything would be helpful as looking through Video game histories are not as helpful as I thought. =O
