As I have suggested in a few of my posts, I have introduced myself as a boy who is really into Mario. But has everybody gotten into gaming by Mario? Some of the older crowd got into it by Atari or the Intellivision(only 10 dollars for 10 games and a controller(batteries not included) at Walgreen's::shameless plug:. Some people might even remember playing on a few games all the way back on sophisticated computers in colleges.
I guess you can say that I have been into it all of my life. Even before I owned my first game(Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt) and my first system(The NES) I used to play games at many people's houses. I would play The Legend of Zelda and Marble Madness(I think that was the name) at a babysitter's house. It indeed filled me up.
But I remember going into a shopping mall and around all of those stocked TVs were the new NES's. My dad bought one and it came with SMB I/Duck Hunt and brought it home. I really, really enjoyed both games(Especially Duck Hunt with the zapper or whatever that red and white gun was). I also can recall trying to learn how to swim in the first water level in SMB I, and afterwards always associating the number 2 for water.
After getting SMB I/Duck Hunt I would also go to Blockbuster to rent games. I would basically rent them based on screenshots and box art(sort of how I choose games nowadays) and I remember playing SMBII. That was the first time I consulted a strategy guide because I didn't know how to beat the first Birdo. I slowly went through every Mario game I could find.
Sure that is just a little enhancement of one of my other posts, but I am also sure that there are little stories like this one in your lives. It is storytelling time.
I am not a hacker by trade, I am an observer and I can be very observant. I tend to lurk around here to prolong the good experience of playing the original SMW. Whatever can add onto it is something that I will definitely do when I am bored which is often. And I will rarely post and give praise when needed to the hacks that may make me interested to relive memories.
My worst enemy in Mario isn't Bowser but my controller that keeps on getting disconnected from the inside. Might be my memory count.
