I loved this game so much. The OST is absolutely amazing.  I still remembered most of in spite of not hearing it for probably at least 35 years. So good. 

I was lucky? to have a recently divorced and remarried dad who was irresponsible with his inheritance money. I didn't know anyone else with a Nintendo (PowerPad, bra), old Atari (both at mom's), and a Sega Master system (at dad's).  Hell, don't think I knew anyone with a Sega at all (this was pre-Genesis). I remember playing this with the whole family happily watching in the living room on his big screen tv. It was easily one of my favorite things along with watching the Cats and gratuitously violent action movies with my dad. Probably my first speed-running game as I think dad bought the Sega before before my Nintendo/Mario.

 

Making a visual collage of all of my favorite childhood games, some of the inspirations so far.  I started collecting the covers and realized, ho-ly shit, there are like 30-40 of them. And those are just my favorites.  I thought there would be like 10-15.  I guess if you start playing at like 4 yrs old, on multiple platforms and mediums they add up quickly, especially if you add in Arcade games (which I played a lot). I haven't even got to the mid-late 90s yet - I just realized these are just like the first 10 year of gaming and I'm still adding them.
