Needless to say, I brought my old N64 back to my apartment with men and managed to hook it up myself.

I immediately started playing again. And doing nothing else.
I told everyone I was playing Mario Kart, because that's still kind of cool/relevant.
But the truth?
Ok, I played Mario Party too. Bowser's a dick. Anyway, that's what I was up to all weekend
Did you guys play Nintendo or Nintendo 64? Anyone still a secret old school gamer?
You know, if you ever feel like this is becoming an addiction, I hear those nostalgic systems sell pretty well. I never was much of a gamer, but that doesn't stop my brain from being polluted with everything from Golden Eye to Ocarina of Time to every rap from PaRappa the Rapper.
ReplyDeleteI played Ms Pacman once in 1982 at a university bar. Does that count? It's my only gaming experience.
ReplyDeleteI have never played a video game.
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
It sounds like Debra She Who Seeks (comment above) and I might be the only two people left in the world who don't play video games, but it's true. I watched someone play Tetris once.
A couple years back, my grandmother heard that "kids these days" like video games, so she brough us over Pong from her attic. So I have a Pong game in my closet. I haven't played it yet but I am hoping for big things one of these days!
I am the third person who has never played a video game.
DeleteI love video games, especially old school Nintendo. I still have all of my old systems (Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64) and will often hook them up just to play for a weekend. I mean, how can you not love Super Smash Bros? I'm going to play as a big pink marshmallow with eyeballs and punch people in the face. Now THAT'S a good time.
ReplyDeleteI loved my kids "Pong" until my eight year old neighbor kicked my ass.
ReplyDeleteTetris and Mario Bros. on my GameBoy. The original, greyscale one. That's how I rolled.
ReplyDeleteI didn't allow my kids to have Nintendo. That is why they are geniuses. X bought pong, or whatever it was called, for his family. They sold it in a garage sale. It's probably worth a fortune now.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Oooh I wonder if my Nintendo 64 still works! I know we found it recently and it was a little wonky, especially the games themselves, but how I would LOVE a good game of Space Invaders.

ReplyDeleteMy ex was a Nintendo addict, so I am well-aquainted with all of those games. Yoshi's Story is awesome!
