Good Times with my Cousins

Yesterday, I started playing a game called TINY TOONS: BUSTER'S HIDDEN TREASURE. It was incredible the number of memories this game brought.



When I was younger, my sister Florencia was getting baptized so my cousins Valeria and Natalia came over. No wait sorry. The year before that, we all went to the cottage we rented and Paco, Martin and my cousins, and many others from Argentina were there. We discovered this game there. Me and Vale spent HOURS playing it but we weren't too good. So anyway, they decided they were going to stay at our place. I think I was 7 or 8 and you know how they say that little kids aren't always too smart.....we kinda brought home the wrong game( before moving i had a game that was exactly like it except it was about sports). We got home, plugged in the Sega and to our surprise, the game was there. Ok, look. I must confess. I was seven so this was 5 years ago dad. We kinda liked the game so much, it may of slipped into our hands..... This was the best kept secret of my life.




A year passed and I kept playing and playing until I finally beat the impossible level. So, I had to E-Mail my cousin. She E-Mailed me back saying " omg how could i have not seen that. Ohh man. We might be coming again for your sisters baptism." I got all pumped and couldn't really wait for them to come. I waited. And waited. And waited. Yes three whole waits. And finally January came and so did they. Of course, as soon as they got there we hit the video games and we played. I remember I had to go to a soccer tournament and when I got back, Vale ran up to me and said "WE BEAT IT!". Then I was like" Oh no u di-nt". And they proved it to me by beating it again. I also recall us hating a guy Montana Max.





He was really anoyying because he always killed us.



Ahhhh. ha ha ha. I just remember somthing that happened with my other cousin. She came with me and on the way back, we stopped by a Wendy's. The Almada families seem to have a lot in common because what we ordered was the same. a plain cheeseburger combo with only cheese. We got our meals and left. We ate in my dad's car. The funny thing was that my dad opened his burger after us (20 minutes after) and instead of cheese it had.......onions, pickles, tomato, lettuce, mustard, ketchup, mayo and probably other things.


It basically looked like this!!! My dad also said in the midst of swearing and cursing that he half expected mashed potatoes instead of French Fries!!

We laughed ourselfs out( Naty and I) Until we got home. Then... we told everyone.

Back to the game... I was chatting with my cousin Vale and we were just wowed at how much we loved that game. It was so cool to see that she remembered too!

Don't forget that not only they gave me the wrong burger. I had also asked for Diet Coke, no ice, and got regular coke with an iceberg instead...

Re: the videogame, like I didn't know. Did you remember that the cottage we had rented was my manager's?

Masoomenos entendi la historia, pero...no ibas a postear en espaƱol? o era muy largo el texto? No hay problema, lo leo despacito...Yo el otro dia fui aqui a Pumper Nic, pedi una hambuerguesa criolla sola con frenys y me la sacaron con cebolla! Y me acuerdo muy bien cuando fuimos al cottage, te acordas de los partidos de futbol que jugamos?
