nes
i took today to relax a little. and play (with kurt), a ton of nes emulated on the dreamcast. this is such an ingenius thing.
but more than that, we reminsced about all the old nes games that were impossible (ones like tmnt). and then, to further waste time and abuse ourselves, we made it a mission to beat the batman nes game. even with infinite continues, 3 hours later, we are still only on board 3-3. my thumb has the imprint of the 'a' button from the dreamcast controller and my back is sore.
ive been thinking a lot about nostalgia. this def ties into that; im only interested in (re-)playing the games i owned and played as a kid. i want to revisit those places; im not interested in exploring 'new' worlds on the nes.
thats really kinda weird to me. im still trying to process why this is the case.
im also trying to resist the lure of jumping and shooting through caves and hanging from pipes. whoever designed this game should get a caning.
