Everything old is new again
-
My daughter, who is four years old, recently discovered my old Nintendo Super NES game console. The only game cartridge I could find was Super Mario's World (or something like that), so I fired it up and waited to see what she thought. I was sure that she would dismiss the primitive graphics instantly, but gosh was I ever wrong - she just loved it! She plays it all the time now and she's MUCH better than I ever was. I just think it's funny that she likes the old games so much. I'm starting to wonder where I stuffed my old Commander Keen discs now... BTW, does anyone remember how to get through Lemmy's Castle? That level has us both stumped! :) Martin Cook Who needs cyberspace when you have CP space? :)

It's all about Commander Keen and the original 2 Duke Nukem's.

Hmm... I can't check that link at work, so I'll look at it later. I don't remember the vegetables but I do remember something about collecting soda cans. Man I can't wait to get home so I can check that link! :) Martin Cook Who needs cyberspace when you have CP space? :)

Apparently there are something like 7 episodes. So its possible vegatables came into the picture later than soda cans or vice versa. (what a strange statement.. :~ ) BW "In a world full of people, only some want to fly,Isn't that crazy?" - Seal

Heh, old systems like that is one reason (pretty much the main reason) why the GP32 is as popular as it is. The GP32 has a bunch of emulators developed for it. Unfortunately, no SNES emulator works properly at the moment. But I think some of the commodore and atari and other emulators work properly. I don't have too many emulators, personally, just PC Engine, NES, and Master System. But hey, they have Doom for it, so I play that a lot. <--Signature begins here--> I am...

I have a little friend, 7 years old, whose parents found her an ancient game console, pre-Nintendo. It plugs into a TV, has two little controls, and offers games like Pong, Brik-Brak, Space Invaders - all in block-graphics mode with at most 16 colors. She loves it, and every time I go to visit we have to play for an hour or so. Kids don't need the latest and greatest to be entertained, and it's refreshing to spend some quality time with a little one doing the simple things we used to enjoy.:-D
