So it’s been dormant for years. It’s once again being utilized. Ayden likes Mario for WII so I wanted to see just how big of a fan he is. Turns out, he actually likes SUPER MARIO 3 and …..Donkey Kong (that one surprised me.) Of course getting the games to work is a little difficult. You often should pack a lunch just waiting for the game to actually start.
And then…midstream when you’re doing good just like you did as a kid, the game does that scrambled TV moment, freezes, and turns off on its own. And you feel as angry as you did in 1992 when it first started to happen.
I am just amazed that a game made in 1987 still works.. I am equally amazed that my son, born into sin during the 21st century, welcomes it with open arms.
Maybe he’ll one day bring friends over to the house to show them this really old, really feeble, and really antique gaming system.
And then … maybe I’ll introduce the movie THE WIZARD to him. And blow his mind!
The revenge of the 20th century!! Let’s see if the WII still works in 2030!
