It started back in the early 80's These video games had me hooked Ms. Pacman started it all She ate cherries, strawberries, peaches, pretzels, apples, bananas The only game I could play straight through on a quarter Golden Axe You just went through killing bad guys and zapping them with majic I played as the short guy with the beard and helmet Then there was Arkanoid A version of Breakout You hit blocks and got special help Lasers, bigger block, hold onto the dot, warp into next phase, life Then Nintendo came out with Mario Bros. I didn't have to spend my quarters all the time I could get the same graphic quality at home I now play on a system that plays old Nintendo and sega games Played Ms. Pacman and Tecmo Bowl(football game) this morning I played Tony Hawk skateboarding and pool on my playstation yesterday It's been a long time since I bought a new system I got my XBOX way back in 2004 from a kid at work He got it free with pepsi points

About this poem:
I have enjoyed my video games for a long time now. I'm not into the role playing games like Zelda, preferring easy to play games like Ms. Pacman and Qix.
