My first video game obsession

I kinda suck at newer video games. I've tried to play first person shooter games like Halo and Call of Duty and it's a sad show. I usually just end up staring at the floor or sky circling around myself - which leads me to promptly get shot. Repeat. Thankfully Xbox Kinect has come along and the tables have turned. I will out MJ Experience / Dance Central your face off. Dance battle your mom. Win. Dance battle the husband. Win. Small Children. You get the picture. I'm merciless. But before all that, I had a Sega. THE Sega. Sure, I'll admit I wanted a Nintendo so when I got the Sega for Christmas, I wasn't exactly pumped. But it came with my first official video game - Black Belt. I loved that game and I played the shit out it. It was back when you couldn't save the game either so you had to sit for hours and just keep playing - or just leave it paused with the tv off until you got home from school so you could continue where you left off. It was the first video game I ever beat. Stumbled across this video someone took the time to put on YouTube and watched it - and relived being 6 years old all over again for 9 minutes and 15 fantastic seconds.
