I write young adult science fiction and fantasy stories (Novels: FAIR COIN, THE SILENCE OF SIX), and I love playing 8-bit Nintendo games. But it's hard to find time for both; over the years, I've collected more than 250 NES games, yet I still haven't played most of them for long—or even once!

POST-STREAM THOUGHTS: Meh. I had this one confused with Top Gun, so I was surprised at how playable it is. It seems okay: the music is fine, the controls are fine. But the levels are uninspired and repetitive, and while I did improve the more I played, there wasn't anything particularly compelling to keep me engaged for long once I had a grasp of the basics. So I switched to Super Mario Bros. 3. :)
