I had Donkey Kong Country set aside to purchase, but it was a little too much money.
To spend all at once, that is.
I'll probably buy the same game a few days from now. I'll tell you when I do.
It was a smart purchase.
Even hooking it up felt good.
It's hard to explain what it is like to play this system again.
People are really into ROMs these days, which are computer translations of video games that you can play through on what's called an 'emulator.'
It doesn't make sense to me either. But when in Greece...
It's not the same, though. It lacks the tactile effects.
You know the nostalgia you feel when you see shit from your childhood?
Key words will do it, even:
Pog.
Slap bracelettes.
Chip 'N Peppa clothing. Vaurnet.
Popples.
You feel that little tinge of nostalgia?
It's like that.
Multiplied by a few dozen polynomials.
Even the music will do it.
Some of that music was wicked, by the way. Considering they were using MIDI to produce it.
If you're curious, try this on for size.
Now the hunt for games begins.
Any of you have Super Nintendo games you're using as doorstops?
Let me know.
Meantime, if you want to see some creme de la creme, check this out. Mute it. I especially recommend this for anyone who inhaled games as a kid like I did (Shandera, I'm looking at you).

My friend gave me his Super Nintendo in April when were were all leaving Wolfville. He had intentions to move to Toronto and to be a serious law student. I had intentions to move to Toronto and to be a SNES playing law student.
He never got me the controllers, though. And I haven't really had time to play it anyway.
In conclusion - depressing post for me. Thanks!
