2003 – Nintendo (Game Boy Advance)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

As illegal as it might have been, my first experience with this game was on an emulator.\u00a0 I ended up buying it because I loved it so much, so…\u00a0 I guess that’s a good thing?<\/p>\n

My niece\u00a0was born in early ’04\u00a0on a day with\u00a0a snow storm of epic proportions.\u00a0\u00a0Though my memory of that event will be recalled in a post much later in my countdown, I only actually got to meet her about two months later.\u00a0 On\u00a0that\u00a0April day in Moncton, it seemed a bit surreal that I was holding a new member of the Suley family in my arms.\u00a0 After\u00a0putting her to sleep for the night,\u00a0we started the trip back to Fredericton.<\/p>\n

We stopped at Costco that evening, and I made an impulse buy – a brand new PC.\u00a0 I’d finally be able to download what I wanted, when I wanted, and could customize it to fit my needs!\u00a0 All those games I had purchased without having a PC to run them…\u00a0 I could run them now!\u00a0 I’d download a few emulators and roms, too!<\/p>\n

I had more money at the time, but bought\u00a0fewer games.\u00a0 Figure that one out.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, one of the first roms I had to download was this WarioWare <\/em>game that EGM<\/em> had\u00a0given a rave review of.\u00a0 The screenshots looked incredibly strange, and I didn’t understand how such a concept could possibly work.<\/p>\n
