NES SEASONAL JOY TRIGGERS

When the holidays near, I can't help but be reminded of the countless joys our stupid NES brought my brother and I. Holidays meant new games. Sweet, sweet new games. Either we got some new ones or friends did. Either way: Many days off in a row + sledding hills freezing over + NES games afterwards = childhood gold.

Battletoads was pretty sick. If not a test of one's ability to withstand pain. It looked so good, you just kept playing to see what was next. Shit was difficult.

A fine job with the list! I miscounted, I see only 16, not 17. You missed:

Balloon Fight (don;t blame ya)
Ghosts and Goblins
Kung Fu (how did you miss that?)
Castlevania
Ikari Warriors II (not 100% sure on that one)
