Hey guys,
I was just wondering, what is the first arcade game you saw as a kid?
My first gracing of arcade land was the arcade game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! As a huge Nintendo junky, of course I had all of the NES versions of TMNT and practically worshiped the TV show. I thought I had the coolest TMNT games of all time. However, that all changed the day my parents took my younger brother and I to a larger town with a mall and that is when we discovered the dazzling existence of arcade. As soon as my brother and I stepped into that arcade our eyes locked on the big green TMNT arcade machine and our jaws dropped. We were absolutely astounded at the amazing sound and graphics of the arcade TMNT. We revisited that arcade several times throughout our childhood to later play games like Time Crisis 2 and House of the Dead in which we were also amazed, but nothing could match the incredible feeling we got from playing our first arcade game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
It is kind of sad how arcades are getting phased out these days. I went back to that mall a few years ago and where the arcade used to be is now a lobby for the movie theater with no arcade games in sight.
Ah, memories
