Nintendo Games Review: Battle Toad, Double Dragon, Dragon Spirit
BattleToads Nintendo Game Battletoads was the first Nintendo two player game I ever played. By the age of 6, I had finally gotten a second controller. This game was a bit weird around the edges.

English is closer to the original German language. Thus, it makes for a better...

In South Florida, there is a donut Franchise called Mojo Donuts. They specialize in making Gourmet donuts. I developed a taste for donuts thanks to the Simpsons. I used to order from the usual places, Donkin Donuts and Crispy Cream. One day, I was browsing through Uber Eats when I saw Mojo Donuts. I was drawn to the fanciness of the donuts. I ended up getting 12 donuts the first time. I had underestimated the size of those donuts. These days I only get a box of six donuts, 3 for me and 3 for my brother. Since I am...
