A perfect Pitfall! run with 1:28 left in time, perfect score
and no deaths has just been verified by the authority on classic
gaming, Twin Galaxies."

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
* 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.
