The plot was story-boarded and adapted by Richard Robbins of Sunsoft USA for the Western release. (Blaster Master) is shown at the beginning in a cinematic slideshow as ominous music plays in the background.[2] The game starts with a person named Jason who has a pet frog named Fred who, one day, decides to leap out of his fish bowl and out the door. Fred then touches a radioactive chest, and he grows to an emormous size; Fred and the chest then fall into a hole in the earth.[3] Jason chases Fred down the hole, which leads to a large underground cavern.[3][4] While most sources say that Jason chased Fred down the hole, the game's instruction manual says that Jason fell into the hole while trying to reach for Fred.[3] There, he finds an armored tank named SOPHIA THE 3RD – a vehicle designed to battle radioactive mutants that live inside the earth.[3][4] Jason mounts SOPHIA to find the whereabouts of Fred and to destroy the mutants and their leader – the Plutonium Boss. The opening sequence has been described as "one of the great scenes in all of video games".[2][5]

Duck hunt was the crack of NES games, could play that for hours. So many games but I am struggling to recall them all. John Elways QB, The NBA game that had the famous Knicks announcer (drawing a blank on his name) FROM DOWNTOWN, YESSS. God theres no many Ninja Turtles had an epic Nintendo game and many others I just cant recall.

Super Mario Kart and Golden Eye. My parents sent me away on a very expensive four year vacation to become an expert in these two games.

I believe the place was called College.

 

[Old hank]

golden eye and mario cart the only two games on n64 that were ever played in my college house
