“Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain. For we’ve received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so nevermore shall we see you again.” - The Best Movie Ever Made
I feel a little bit like Quint from Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” tonight while I sit back, crack a 16 oz. Coors Light Can and watch Shark Week on The Discovery Channel. I don’t know, call me crazy but I feel like I’m going to need a bigger boat while I delve into the inner workings of my childhood and remember the game Jaws for NES. It was one of my favorites. My brother and I (who might look like me but isn’t me) spent long and arduous hours trying and failing completely at that game. Sometimes it’s the games you can’t beat that you remember forever. Like a guy who lives on an island, yet hates the water, I feel a little humbled and need another shot on the mainland to get my feet wet. Fuck it, give me Jaws NES or give me death!

Man… I rented Jaws for NES when I was a kid. I had it for 7 days and I never figured out how to play it. Granted I was pretty young at the time (I’m gonna be 25 in 3 weeks) but I just remember constantly failing every time I attempted to play it.
Oddly enough, as much as I loved them, I completely sucked at most games as a kid. I really didn’t get good at gaming until I became obsessed with PC gaming when I was in 6th grade.
