Dear Original Nintendo,

There's Super Nintendo, N64, XBOX, PlayStation, the Sega Genesis, and the Atari but my heart always comes back to you, Original Nintendo.

Today, your games are frustrating and tedious, it takes 20 minutes to even get a cartridge working right, and your controllers are way too small for my hands but they evoke a feeling of nostalgia and joy that carbon-based humans cannot recreate.



My Top 3 Super-Childhood-Nostalgia-Memory NES Games:

3. Nintendo Ice Hockey
2. Tecmo Baseball (I know, I know. Everyone romanticizes Tecmo Bowl and Bo Jackson but it was baseball for me)
1. Super Mario Bros. 2

All incredible games. All better than all those other silly games out there.


Regards,
Everyone

What were your favorite original Nintendo games?

Super Mario Bros. 2 had the best theme song too and it's re-created beautifully here:

Dear Tetris,

Wow! Thanks for helping me with my Post-Traumatic Stress Order!

Well, at least according to this research article.

Now where did I put my Nintendo Game Boy .....


Regards,
Everyone
