NES Games Are Super-Resilient

I know it's been all video games here lately, but hey, I'm a nerd with a currently disorganized life and VG stuff is easy to share -- provided the audience is receptive. So here's to posting stuff on a blog that only four people and a couple gamers ever read, because I can.

Behold another reason to be an old-school gamer.

Childhood Games

My dad was talking the other day about growing up in his family, and how he sort of gave his older brother a run for his money regarding being the top boy. "However," he said, "when we'd play Batman and Robin, he was always Batman and I was always Robin."

Interesting comparison. When SC and I were kids we'd play spoken text-adventure games, and he was always the narrator and I the player. Forget who knows how to use the Batarang, I had to deal with reverse- deus ex machina.

Dad should have known how nerdy we were back then.

Happy New(?) Year!

Apologies to non-VG-nerds =)
