All or Nothing

I've had this dream from age 4 to current. I'm not kidding. I'm hanging out, maybe I go around the corner, or maybe they just fall on top of me "You Can't Do That on Television" style. I'unno. But it's NES games. Freakin Everywhere. And I could even swim in them, Scrooge McDuck style.

And there's variations to the dream. Either I'm playing them, but they're different games than what they're labeled (usually they're something shitty, like Milon's Secret Castle or something.), or my NES controller's A button stops working (a bad day) or in this case, they just don't freaking work. And then this unexplainable godsend of electronics turns shithouse cocktease in .03 seconds.

I've told people this dream. Gabe's response is usually accurate. But any true NES-era nerd can sympathize with me, even if secretly. And at least one of you has also had this freakin' dream.

P.S. - I stand by my comment. Karnov is one of the worst NES games of all time. Perhaps not THE worst, but if I did have infinity plus games drop in my house, it would definetly be the last one I play. Firebreathing Russian circus star platformer, my ass.
