I have no idea how the game wound up on my Wii, but it was the first time since the 90s me and my cousin played a game together (taking turns each time we died) and it really got me nostalgic for when that happened every time I saw him, so that really affects my score.

The game itself is dickishly hard and all that classic NES style and probably not even anything super special, but that doesn't matter when you have memories associated with a game worth much more you know? It's the magic of video games that can't be captured as much in other mediums: The experience.

So while I forget most of Adventure Island itself, I'll never forget experiencing Adventure Island.
