Stupid Frogs


It's nice to know that some things never change. I'm still as spastic as I ever was at Frigger...uh, I mean...Frogger.
Click here to play more 80's arcade games. They say they're 80's arcade games but I definitely played some of these in the 70's. Yeah, I sucked back then, too.
The only things I could play with any degree of success on my son's first Nintendo were Excitebike and Kung Fu and, even at 7 years old, he always kicked my ass.

I buy games just for me. My son is into the shooting games, but I have a hard time with those. I got stuck on the stairs trying to play Perfect Dark.
My favorite Super Nintendo game was one where Taz ran down the road gulping down little yellow birds.

Oooo.... I was pretty good at the various iterations of Zelda and at Tetris and Dr. Mario (not to be confused with Mario Bros. Those were the days.

Roxan and Sophmom - My son also loved Wolfenstein and would want me to watch him play. I would get such motion sickness, I would have to stop watching. I don't know how those kids do it.

Dr. Mario was pretty sweet, although i am afraid that many of those games I would suck at royally today.

I think I have had pretty much every game console ever made except for the X-Box.

Grimm - I can't do any of them except the very first Nintendo. Oh, and I can play Tetris on the old Gameboy.
