Description
You might be thinking to yourself right now, "Who's that little guy up in the banner?" or "who's in that drawing to the right?" (by my good bud Paul ter Voorde) Well that's me, Randy Solem, the creator of Video Game Director's Cuts. The picture of me above was taken around the time I first started playing video games.
Now I've had just about everything, Atari 2600, Game and Watches, Mini Arcades, etc. But my most memorable system had to be the Nintendo Entertainment System, the NES. I remember back in 1985-86 when I first got one. My family and I were at Toys R Us, and me and my sister were begging our parents for one. We got our wish, and man did they make a big mistake. I played that damn thing nonstop. Super Mario Bros. became an obsession for me. Before I got my own NES, I'd have to go over my friend Donnie's to play it. He was so good that he'd get almost to the end of SMB before he died. And everyone knows the second player can't play until the first died. So since I was just starting to play SMB, I'd walk like two steps and get killed by that first goomba. Then I'd have to wait another half hour to play. So getting my own NES was like a godsend to me. My sister wasn't really all that into video games (I think I conned her into helping me beg for the NES). So playing Nintendo, like almost every kid in America, became a daily habit for me. To this day I can still faintly make out the permanent impressions on my thumb of the NES controller's crosspad...6 hours of play a day can definitely make a mark!
I was always good at drawing cartoon characters, so from then on most of my drawings consisted of Mario, Toad, Link, and later Sonic.
