A special notice: No wonder we're into games! o,O

Out of random searching for stuff on Contra just for fun, I now see why my g/f and I are so into the gaming stuffs! They say that a LOT of games that are milestones even up for today's modern tech were all released in 1988, which happens to be our birth year which also is very interesting!

I first heard that Gradius 2 was released therein which explains why I have a thing for the series, also same for Thunderforce 2, Silpheed (the first), but then again they say that even things I had no clue were also involved too: Mega Man, Phantasy Star, and even Contra.... but way more than those which so happened to bring a "home" feeling around even if difficult as hell.

Look a little further back.

Without the recovery from the video game crash, you wouldn't have the stuff you guys enjoyed from 87 or 88.
