Also, I had those old games as far back as 1985 when I was 3 with Super Mario Bros and it wasn't my fault I was told that I had to sell them in an estate sale after my dad passed away and I lost the house and half my stuff. I had a lot of stuff of my own and I couldn't take it with me to my current coach house studio. Those games brought me fond memories of my family, my friends and my youth and I want them back.
I know it's strange for a 41 year old man like myself trying to chase after his long gone past, but the 1980s and 1990s was a big deal to me, because back then, life in general was better: games, TV, movies, cartoons, bowling alleys, the games we played with our friends during school recess. If I can redo 1985-1999 again, I would.

I thought SSDI was disability. For me I have really painful neuropathy along with frequent migraines and degenerative disk disease. My body doesn't feel too good these days which sucks because I used to be a decent skateboarder. Anyway, sometimes I have found that when life is very hard and I don't want to cope with hard drugs or alcohol, that chasing some of my positive childhood memories can be a great thing for my mind. It's what led me back to the Ninja Turtles and to this web site. I don't know what kinda games IMJ played when he was a kid, but I love replaying through old games like Twisted Metal, Super Mario, Zelda and hundreds of others. All of my best friends live kinda far away these days so if I have to be alone, then I am gonna make the best of it. Chess is my favorite game of all though.
