In this day in age, some people only know about The XBOX 360, Playstation’s, and WII, and among other gaming consoles now, but in my opinion and in my era, the Classic Nintendo was the best. I know a lot of people who still play classic nintendo. My favourite games were Mario Brothers, Super Mario 1-3, Duck Hunt, Rivercity Ransom, Elevator Action, Dragon Fire, Konami Games, Olympic Games, Dr. Mario, Blades of Steel and among other games that I truly loved to play for hours with my brother and cousins. Since I was the younger sibling and when I used to play with my brother, I used to be Luigi because I was the younger and I would get so mad because I am playing last hahaha. So today I remembered those days and how fun it was with playing classic video games. I don’t know if Nintendo players remember how some games did not work well until you blew into the gaming cartridge. Now that was one of the many happy moments, and I am sure a lot of people can relate. I still see people wearing belt buckles and t-shirts of classic Nintendo and among the Mario, Luigi, and other characters like Goomba, Yoshi, and everything else. I still see them in specialty stores that have t-shirts, key chains, and among other items. Its so funny whenever I see them, I think of the memories I had when I was a child.
Several weeks ago, I was at a restaurant with my friends, just enjoying a night out with each other, and I saw our waiter with a Mario Mushroom belt buckle, and at this time I didn’t really say anything, and then he came back and we talked about his belt buckle, then when he went away to a table across from ours, I said hey, when you eat the mushroom it gets bigger. The guy started to laugh, then I realized why he was laughing, turned red like a tomato and he totally misinterpreted what I was saying. He thought about something else, rather than the game on what happens to Mario after he eat the mushroom. I am sure you can figure out what that is LOL. It was so funny. The guy said I will always remember that when I wear this now. Hes like I had never had anyone tell me that before. The belt buckle was in the center and he thought something different. It was super funny and my friends started laughing so hard and it was hilarious. So I guess everyone misinterpreted what I was trying to say lol about that. We still laugh about it to this day and it will forever be remembered in our group.
Gotta love classic gaming consoles. Now its too much violence and too graphic. I just cannot come to terms to play these new gaming consoles and the games. Its not my cup of tea.

Nobody misinterpreted you; that’s a classic double entendre that just can’t be passed up 😉
The older games were great. 🙂 There are games for the new game machines that are not violent, and/or are as violent as the older games were. It takes research to find the games that are appropriate for the person playing. Some of the companies offer the ability to play older games on the new machines. For example on the WII you can get some of the older titles inexpensively. It’s great.
And he didn’t ask you out after that?!
I totally loved video games back in the years. I think that simply there were lesser number of games and their cost was pretty high. The tecnology could not keep upwith the ideas and therefore the programmers had to squeeze their brains to get out of the hat something amazing.
Now the tecnology is so awesome that a number of programmers are pretty much afraid to experiment leaving on a side the appearance. If you want to find awesome games you should look at the indie scene and all the low budget and low cost games in the playstore and stuff.
Little jewels like Braid and quite some others are born from the real creativity and not the sequel more cool looking of the same stuff over and over.
Super Mario was always my favorite! I never bought another console after that one.
