Video games don’t get the same respect as movies and music do as formative influences upon us... but maybe they should? One retrogamer who came of age during the fighting game craze spawned by SFII takes a look at the scraps in his life, on and off the screen from boyhood forward.

The Elusive Happy-NES of a Salty Arcade Rat

The Elusive Happy-NES of a Salty Arcade Rat: Once again firmly ensconced in his ancestral desert home of Tucson, JJJ finds himself torn between the games on his NES (and some of the awful arcade ports that threaten his faith in the platform), and roaming free in the then-plentiful arcades that beckon to his pre-teen soul. Either way, his allowance is doomed.
