I remember, after my report card came out and I had gotten all A's, my dad took me across the street to our neighbor's house. The neighbor sold my dad their family's Nintendo for $20, including Ninja Gaidan! His kids had failed two classes each. I guess this was some kind of dad conspiracy to teach us all a lesson about how important it is to do well in school, but all it really taught me is that kids are jerks and that you're going to get beat up at the bus stop for "stealing" their Nintendo.

That's my earliest memory. My favorite memory, though, would be saving up my allowance for most of the year, and then buying the SNES bundled with A Link to the Past. I had never even heard of the series before, but after the first night playing it, I would get up two hours early before school everyday to play it in the basement, then sneak back upstairs so my dad could wake me up to get ready for school.
