I used to play a bunch of these! Especially (and obviously)
Super Mario World. Not long ago, I was hanging out at a friend’s house and he
brought out an old school Nintendo and a box filled with the classic games. It
was actually in the middle of Donkey Kong when I noticed the late 80’s graphics.
It almost hurts to see now. I don’t think I ever would have paid attention to
this as a kid, but now it’s a little more like a smack in the face.
It’s kind of like how Nickelodeon just brought back all of
the 90’s shows that we used to watch. Last night I was so excited that the first
episode of “Hey Dude” was coming up next, but when it was over, I couldn’t help
thinking about how much it sucked. I worshiped that show when I was younger. I
thought the plot was hilarious and I wanted to be some of the characters. Now
as I watch it, I realize that it was mostly the innocence of childhood that
made it so great and I’m afraid to watch another episode for fear of ruining that.
