Super Mario 64

   Growing up this was a game that I would never forget. It brought me great terror, nightmares and taunted me every time I would pass my N64 console. Released in 1996 it gave the 90's kid something to be entertained with. If you read the reviews of this game you will see what an outstanding reputation it has but though it was a good game it was the most frustrating piece of shit ever. It took me years to learn how to far jump in this game and without knowing how to do that you are in for a lot of falling and screaming Marios. Also don't get me started on the Shifting Sand Land level.
You have the quicksand, huge angry moving blocks, and the fire-breathing fly guy (I assume a relative of shy guy) to avoid. The desert level also contained the vulture that would always steal your hat which did nothing but always made me want to stab and eat that bird. When I was younger my cousins would love to sit around and watch me struggle and get angry at this game. My cousins did play this game with me once in a while but the mostly liked to see me virtually fail. Though what they did do quite a lot of was play with the Mario head at the intro of the game which would make stretching noises.

   This game brought many adventures to my real boring life. I think anyone who has not tried this game (which is probably small) should try it out though make sure you get the game guide because as for me I have never passed it. To be honest, I made it to 40 something stars but most of them were already there when I bought them (one of the perks of buying a game used). Who ever had the game prior to me surely had some skills or a lot of time on their hands.
