I love Nintendo. Not so much the newer systems like Game Cube or the 64. I'm talking Regular and Super Nintendo game systems and those old games. Those came out a good bit after Atari, although Atari was pretty cool way back in the day, too. I wasn't much on space invaders and asteroids the way my brother was, although I was really into Pac-Man. I can still hear the sound effects in my head for Pac-Man. I liked to play Ms. Pac-man and Q-bert at the arcade. For many years at home, I was the absolute undefeated Master Queen of Video Games and could beat any game I was interested in better than anyone else in the family. Then, *sigh*, Jason surpassed me with games I wasn't interested in and I kind of got out of it altogether.
Occasionally, I will drag out the old stuff and show my skills are still sharp. I try to get into some newer stuff, but I get bored easily and seem to have lost the passion to play. They actually seem more detail oriented to me on alot of the older games than alot of the new ones, which appear on the surface to be superior--flashy with high graphics, and multi-dimensional controlling, but lack the depth, originality and adventure. Nintendo is coming out with a new system this year, I think, with new Mario adventures, so who knows... :)
