NES

I remember when Justin and I got our first Nintendo...well it was probably Justin's NES but he was nice enough to let me play.  While playing Super Mario Bros for the first time, when I needed Mario to jump, I would not only push the buttons on the controller but I would also take my hands/arms, while holding the controller, and move them in a jumping motion as if that helped Mario to jump farther.  I have many fond, vivid memories of playing Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, Spy Hunter, Paperboy, Mike Tyson's Punchout and many more.

Dave has a lot of memories as well including mastering one of his favorite games Zelda.  His buddies would frequently have Super Tecmo Bowl tournaments where they would stay up all night long and get very little sleep.  Dave still has his Ninendo which we dug out the other day and were able to play a couple games.  It was a very vintage moment and Dave was like a little kid in a candy shop!

Caleb was also pretty intrigued.

 

I know there are new video game consoles but there is just something nostalgic about the old-school Nintendo.
