I never got into the NES version, but when I was in school, one summer I attended a band camp on an empty college campus.  The dorm lobby had a few arcade machines, and one of them was Track & Field.  That was where I learned about all the secrets in the arcade version.  It's too bad the DS version of Track & Field wasn't very good.  It had a lot of great Konami character cameos in it, including Sparkster, Rumble Roses, and even Kid Dracula!

Thanks!  Yeah I may not be a video game journalism success story, but I think it's pretty good that I've been able to stick it out 20 years.  Too bad 1up.com didn't last a few more years, or I would have been able to say I posted there for ten years!

I hope so.  I remember when 3D movies were getting big a few years ago, and I was worried about that.  But they still show 2D movies, thank goodness.

I tried some programming when I was a little kid, and then again in high school.  I decided that I didn't like programming and neither did my brain so I figured I'd rather just play games instead.

I'd love to make my own RPG with RPG Maker, but there would need to be 50 hours in a day for that to happen.  I don't have enough time to play the already made RPGs out there, much less make my own.

My "game making experiences" only consist of Mario Paint (I did school projects using that program), Super Mario Maker, and WarioWare D.I.Y.  On the WarioWare game, I won a contest and had my game featured by Nintendo!  It was a horrible game, though. :)

I might try and make my own maps in Gotta Protectors.  Which, by the way, if you have a 3DS, you should download it!

Do you have the Bowser and Donkey Kong Skylanders?

I learned something when I played FF Tactics on PSOne.  I learned that I don't like tactial strategy RPGs. :)

You really understand how it is.  I've done lots of things over the years to try and make more of a career out of this game reviewing thing (I just didn't mention everything I do in this blog, I just went over the highlights as it was long enough as it is).  But sometimes things don't work out the way you want them to and you have to readjust and make do and be happy with what you have.

Gotta Protectors is basically Protect Me Knight 2.

Pac-Man Championship Edition is one of the reasons why I got an Xbox 360.  It's one of my favorite Pac-Man games.  Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 might make me get a PS4 someday.

I don't really regret writing for GamerDad for so long.  If everything goes VR, I may not be able to review games much after that anyway.
