Remembering The Simpsons: Hit & Run

The Simpsons have had a weird history with video games. The first Simpsons video game was the arcade game in the early 1990s, and then there were many mediocre releases throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. As I was growing up, I managed to play a couple of these bad games at the turn of the millennium. I remember The Simpsons Wrestling on the PS1, which was horrible to play. I also played a bit of The Simpsons: Road Rage, which was a Crazy Taxi clone. The game was not terrible, but I would not call the game good at all. 

It Was A Rainy Day In Charlottetown

While I was in Prince Edward Island, I stayed in Downtown Charlottetown, and I want to dedicate a post to my wanderings in this place. Charlottetown is not actually a town, but rather a city, and wandering around this city felt like walking through a small city in Ontario, such as Kitchener or St. Catharines. I still got that small-town feel from the city with its historic buildings and waterfront. I walked around Charlottetown at varying lengths on each day of my stay. I had rain on the first two days of my stay while I had clear weather on the remaining days. Anyways, here are my pics from my time in Charlottetown in Prince Edward Island.

P.E.I.'s Local Roadside Car Museum

On my last day in Prince Edward Island, I was supposed to check out Fort Amherst, but before heading over there, I found out that the attraction was not open. I needed to find an alternative attraction in the south side of the island to kill some time before my flight back to Toronto later that evening. While feverishly looking through Google Maps, I found a car museum not too far from my location called the Car Life Museum, and it was on the way back to Charlottetown. It seemed interesting enough, and I like cars, so I thought I would check it out. The Car Life Museum is a family-owned museum featuring restored antique and classic cars by the family, as well as tractors and other farm equipment. The feature car is an old Cadillac DeVille once owned by Elvis Presley.

I Climbed Up PEI’s Tallest Lighthouse

The West Point Lighthouse is Prince Edward Island’s tallest lighthouse, sitting on the westernmost coast of the island. As part of my random driving around on the west side of the island, I drove to this isolated lighthouse, which was also an inn and a campground. It had been raining on the day I visited the lighthouse, so I had the lighthouse all to myself because there were no other tourists.

Remembering Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

I am continuing my series on talking about games from my childhood, and one memorable game that I had on the Nintendo 64 when I was a child was Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. I previously mentioned in my review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land that I played a few Kirby games in my childhood. Most Kirby games are not worth talking about in a blog post because they are all the same sort of 2D platformer. However, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is just different enough that I need to talk about it.
