I played tons of the classic 90s games like Backyard baseball, Spy Fox and 7th Guest (Which I'm sure had nothing to do with me being desensitized to Horror movies and games XD), but I also spent a lot of time messing with programs like GameMaker, Anim8tor and random maze creator type programs. What were yours?

I don't want to brag, but I once made it to level 12 in Tetris for gameboy, in a T.J Maxx in the 90s. I only lost because my mom said she was done shopping. But I had the perfect lighting spot and didn't want to move. So I said "Just go back to shopping. You love shopping."

And my mom took that personally.

My best ever tetris run may have gone on even further. I'll never know where I'd have gotten. In the end, my run was ended by my mom dragging me out of the store by my ear.

Still though. Level 12.
