The Book Of Random Stuff[OLD]

Sonic crap pointless stuff about my life

So once upon a time on Christmas, in the year 2016, 11 year- old me discovered the Sega Genesis. Big shock, considering how old that bitch is, but I was born when the PS3 and GameCube came out... I think. It was the year of guns and pew pews and death and murder and homicide.

That's why I am the way I am. I was born into a fantastic generation.

Despite growing up in a great era, the first console my parents ever got me was the V Smile. Do y'all remember having one of these?

Now, this is just a picture of the model I had. The actual console I had have up on life a long, long time ago. I had some pretty fond memories of it, too. There was this SpongeBob game where you flipped Krabby Patties and catch jellyfish, there was this Backyardigans game where you were this Viking on a ship and you had to spell words, and there was Alphabet Park.

It was Alphabet Park, what else is there to say? 

Anyway, that big hunk of sexy plastic was my first gaming experience and crap, nothing much to say about that. After that thing died, a few years later, in 2016, I got a 2Ds. It was cool and all, I didn't have any games for it yet, but it was cool.

But then my brother, on the other hand, got a Sega Genesis. The two of us had never seen it before, and we were like "Wow, this looks like shit,"

But I couldn't complain too much, it was my brother's. He was sad that he had that instead of what I had, but then my Mom took off her shoe and there were no more complaints.

It was Christmas, so my Mom was like "Why don't you two go play with the genesis, and BoNd?!"

Thank God she finally understands that I don't like him today.

But we went into the living room anyway because Mom still had a shoe in her hand, we plugged it in the TV and stuff and booted it up.

It was a bootleg.

That's why it looked like shit. Because it was shit.

Maybe you guys are aware of a little company called AtGames. If you don't, then they make sloppy, unwanted, rushed, cheap classic consoles that parents would either buy as a last-minute gift or by not reading the box close enough. My parents threw away the box so... um, we wouldn't have so much trash? I don't know. But trust me, you can tell when a console is made by AtGames. The controller was inferred, the buttons were wobbly, and god damn was there something wrong with the sound chip.

Upon seeing the 80-in-1 Firecore menu, 40 of those games being made by random companies, my brother immediately went to...

Alex Kidd. Weirdly enough, they put the Sonic games very low down the list. (The first 40, the other ones don't count in my book.) We played that for a few minutes but it just wasn't hitting it.

Who tf wants some bubbly baby jan-ken-pom bullshit? The Genesis was known for action, right? So we stopped playing Alex Kidd, and then we went to Ristar (an extremely underrated game btw). Then Ecco the Dolphin, and I think Virtua Fighter. I think. We only played about ten minutes of each game. And then, finally, we discovered the Sonic page.
