Nintendo

Do you remember back in the 80s, when you or your friend had that "new" gaming system where the graphics were so cool and realistic? How about all the hours you spent in front of the TV trying relentlessly to get through the different levels of Super Mario Brothers without getting killed? Nine levels and only 3 men - You can do it! While cleaning out our closets, Michael and I found a Nintendo that Aunt Pat had given us several years ago...and down memory lane we went. Just getting through Super Mario Brothers was like revisiting a childhood home. The places were all too familiar yet it was hard to remember the unique little quirks of the place with out a bit of thought and a few sacrificed lives. Needless to say, I do not have the patience to play as long as I used to, but we have played until an impressive 12:30 a.m tonight. Now all those "cool" graphics of yesteryear look like big chunky squares to me and it makes me wonder what video games will achieve by the time Addison has one listed in her letter to Santa.
