One of the big factors I've had to deal with this week is moving to a new location. This meant a week of no Internet, no video games, and no TV. Oh how nice it is to be back in the world of technology again.
After a very tiring week, I have all of my fantastic gadgets functioning properly again....so let's review something. While moving I had time to go through my closet and see all of my wonderful NES games. In my opinion, most of these games are better off as fond memories.
(What have you been up to?)
Once in a while I get an urge to pick up the old controller and relive all the fun times I had as a kid, but when I do....it's not quite the same as I remember. I believe once one gets used to the perfection that game developers have created these days there's no going back for me.
I tried going through the original Final Fantasy. It was great to see the original charters and hear the music that I remember so well, but then I realized just how long it took to fight a battle, get around the map, etc, and I understand now that I tolerated these things because that's all we had back then, and it was great at the time....it just doesn't work now. I guess it's kind of like swiping your v-card. It's great then because you don't know how much better it can get.
All in all, a trip down memory lane can be fun.....in short bursts. Then again some gamers pay to download these games and are very happy, for like two minutes.
