Being a Nintendo fan i became somewhat emotional when i saw this video. It’s brillaintly put together and shows such determination.

   It reminds me of being young, sat on the SNES playing Mystic Quest whilst Aerosmith’s Jennie’s Got A Gun blasted out of the CD player, playing the NES at 5years old, the only member of my household who managed to do the long jump successfully on Track And Field, and my mum completing GunSmoke in a night…

Being a hardcore gamer, i have been playing computer games since i was about 5 years of age. I own a wii, a 360, a PSP, a DS, a SNES, NES and a PS1. Out of all of the consoles i have played over the years, the SNES wins everytime for me as being the best, it will certainly take some beating! I loved the cute graphics, the old chunky grey box, the fat cartridges and the smartie buttons on the remotes (they looked so edible!!)

   A while ago now, i found the NES out and i set it all up to see if it still worked…baring in mind the NES is from the mid-80’s and it did!!! I enjoyed a good hour playing classics such as Simon’s Quest and Ghost and Goblins…was fun…even if very outdated. Afterwards, i found the Sega Megadrive out…this was released in the early 1990’s…guess what…it didnt work!!!!! Proof that Nintendo’s machinery is indestructable!!!

Does anybody remember the horrible noise the Spectrum made whilst loading??? AAARGH!!!! hehehe when i think of the Spectrum i always think of Skool Daze, the best game for it

Games used to be so laid back and fun…anybody any age could play them without feeling scared because a realistic headless zombie was chasing you etc…what i’ trying to say is…back then, games were cute and fun! They were proper entertainment for the whole family, which is why the Wii has basically dominated the world because family entertainment is just what it gives. 

But in terms of great games and fond memories….give me the SNES/NES anyday.
