Random Memories of a Toys R Us Kid

March 15, 2018

Yesterday I read the news that Toys R Us is going to liquidate entirely rather than restructure debt meaning that the last national toy chain in the US is shuttering its doors for good.  Over the years I witnessed the closures of Children’s Palace, K.B. Toys, and FAO Schwarz, and although I was dissatisfied or … More Random Memories of a Toys R Us Kid

Castlevania (NES, 1987)

October 11, 2015

I have a large confession to make here.  Not once during childhood did I ever even play a Castlevania game.  I’m not really sure why because they would have been right up my alley.  Part of it has to do with the manner in which games were acquired.  Today in my 30’s if I want … More Castlevania (NES, 1987)
