Default Re: Happy 25th to the NES!

I can't believe you remember all that. I guess it made a real impression.

I remember we borrowed a NES from my dad's store and we had several Mario games with it, but I don't remember if we ever beat those games.
Sometimes I'd go over to a 'friend' (we didn't like eachother, but we were in the same class and lived close by) who also had a NES, he taught me about the magical flutes in SMB3.
My brother's 4 years younger than me and at that time a bit too young to play these games. So he would ask me to play his levels for him. Only I never really wanted to, so I tried to finish the levels as fast as possible (speed runs before I knew about them). Of course I would die almost every time, this got my brother really angry and upset.

Later we got a SNES of our own and Super Mario All Stars with it. I'm sure my brother and I beat all the Marios then. Once in a few years my brother and I beat 1 or more Marios during the christmas break. Good retro fun. And these games haven't become any easier!
