View source for Nekkoru's Epic Videogame Quest

In 2009, a little [[Nekkoru]] thought of a fucking brilliant idea - to bolster her own gaming skills by re-living the history of video games, starting in 1980 and working up slowly.

==The rules==
The rules are simple. Nekkoru will be playing all major releases of a year and will not advance until beating at least one game.

Minor rules include no cheating, unless you found the cheat yourself (this, for example, includes the Warp Zones in Super Mario Brothers). Warps/passwords are allowed, if you found them out.
