We only had my old Sega Genesis in the house before Darrel was first 
diagnosed in September 2005.  He rarely played any of the games I had, as most 
were purchased before any of the kids were born.  But, almost anywhere  you
went at Sick Kids in Toronto, there was a Nintendo system of some kind.    While
the other floors had the Super NES system, the onocology floor had the  Game
Cube.  It was certainly a vast improvement over what we had at home, and it  was
where Darrel first discovered Zelda....The Wind Waker! 

Being stuck in insolation, and in his bed for nearly all his time in the 
hospital, for every visit, he alot alot of time to play it....er...I mean
mostly  watch Mommy play it around the clock.  Later, the Children's Wish
Foundation  would provide us with a system and many games for home as part of
his Big Wish.
 
I would also like to thank Nintendo, as they sent Darrel personally, "The 
Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition 1986-2003" .  A family member had 
approached the company about perhaps being able to buy an advance copy of the 
new "Zelda: Twilight Princess", and had explained his situation to them.  Since 
they couldn't realistically do this, they sent out a promotional disc that 
included four of the original Zelda games.  Their gift was unexpected, and held 
Darrel's interest until the Twilight Princess was released.

Below is a list of many of the games Darrel has enjoyed on many of the 
Nintendo systems that have come his way:

    The majority of all these entries were written by Darrel's father, Stephen.  For those that are not, efforts have been made to give proper credit where it is due.

    The bulk of the posts are in the June 2011 Archives Section, as that is when I transferred them over to this site.  Category Tags should allow you to find entries easier.

    I've tried to correct spacing issues on many of the entries, as most of the older ones have been copied from different sites I've used in the past. I apologize if some have been overlooked.
