Growing up in the 90's was a blast! We witnessed the return of video games from a dire market crash and saw them flourish and go on to break the 3D barrier and beyond. It was a very exciting time in video game history, and I have many stories and memories that I would love to share with folks!Here's the story of a 90's kid's gaming journey from grade school to high school. I hope you all enjoy it.
