The very first video game I ever played was actually Sonic The Hedgehog, on my parents' Sega Genesis. I was apparently very good at it. I played that until I saw my parents play Sonic The Hedgehog 2.
I was even better at that, and made it to Winged Fortress Zone many, many times at the age of... what, five? I know I was in Kindergarten. Aaaaah, good times. Gooooooood times.
Except for Mystic Cave Zone. That was my original "Bottom of the Well," and the second one was just that. The Bottom of the Well.
