My First Grade Video Game Novel -- 'The Super Koopa Brothers'

My elementary school would let you write and illustrate your own "books" that the library would "publish" for you, and while digging through my closet over the holidays, I found a video game one I created back then: "The Super Koopa Brothers."

Like many others, I've been playing video games for a long time and they've been a constant influence in my life. That was no different when I was in elementary school. My school allowed students to write and draw their own "books," which the library would bundle together and "publish" for you.

I wrote a number of these "books" when I was younger, and in first grade, created "The Super Koopa Brothers." Take one guess what it was about…let me guess, you were thinking "Koopa troopers and dinosaurs," right? Right?!
