    Not being alive is no excuse.

    Pick yourself up an emulator and get to work. You've got some catching up to do. Only my list of "required playing":
    * Super Mario 1 and 3 (ignore 2, it was teh suck)
    * Final Fantasy 1 and 2
    * Contra (up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-b-a-select- start)
    * Life Force (see Contra)
    * Metroid (i don't think the game has an ending or even a point, but it's fun)
    * Sonic the Hedgehog (if you can figure out how to get the system into "debug" mode, you're cool)
    * Megamania (atari 2600)
    * Mike Tyson's Punch Out (007-373-5963)
    * Advanced Dungeons & Dragons - Treasures of Tarmin (Aquarius) -- hard to find, but awesome
    * Phantasy Star II
    * Kings Quest (Space Quest, Police Quest) -- entire series up until they got "good" graphics-- don't play the remakes

    After that, come back and there'll be a test.
