Middle Aged Man Plays Donkey Kong 64

Donkey Kong 64, A Look Back At The Good Ol’ Days

    I am 31 years old, I can not really remember Donkey Kong 64 became a thing, but I remember I could not really afford it.  It took an extra memory add-on chip to the 64 and my family was not made of money.  It was like trying to convince my mom to buy me two games and honestly at that point I would have preferred two games.  I was born a capitalist. </p>     
        <h2>So Why Live In Regret Of Never Really Playing Donkey Kong 64, It Is My Life And I Can Break The Cycle.</h2>     
    <p>Now, I have started Donkey 64 already, but I have not much to say, except that this is probably way more intuitive to an idiot child.  It mean it takes me like 3 seconds to shoot my gun, and the aiming is awful compared to my spoiled FPS games.  I have found 2 bananas and unlocked Diddy Kong.  With the two best Kongs free, I feel like I have won.</p>

    <p>I will play more and actually form an opinion and help anyone wondering if they should relive the nostalgia.  I will also probably play Banjo Kazooie cause I never appreciated that game.  When I look back on it though, it just seems like a great casual games.

Quote from a book I am currently reading.  That may or may not have to do with my response to this game.
