Kicking it old school with the NES
on December 16th, 2006 at 1:06 am
My wife and sister-in-law managed to convince my father-in-law to dig through the storage closet and pull out their old Classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). They have a bunch of games like the original Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt, Dr. Mario, etc. I am posting this at almost midnight Central time, and they are still playing. I am trying to decide whether to go back or go to bed.
Anyway, this thing brings back all kinds of memories of my childhood. I remember putting my original NES on layaway when I was in high school. I think it was just over $100 back then, and I only earned about $200 / month, so it was quite the financial decision. Waiting for a month to get that thing just about killed me!
When I did get it, I did nothing but play. I was a Zelda master and a Mike Tyson ass-whipper back then.  I would stay up all night with a friend competing to see who could beat different games the fastest. We would start right after dinner (around 7pm) and would not stop until the sun came up the next morning. Remember those days?
Good times, good times…

Hell yeah. NES. Whatever happened to the good old days? Where security was a fleeting thought?
