CHAPTER 01 · THE BEGINNING
WHERE THE ADVENTURE STARTED
The NES turned games into worlds worth exploring and made every new cartridge feel like opening a doorway.
Long afternoons with Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and the games that demanded one more try created a lifelong connection to classic gaming. This was the era that established the heart of RetroDad Gaming: exploration, challenge, discovery, and sharing the controller.
