My dad got really sick one time when I was a kid. He was at home for a couple weeks. He started playing Donky Kong 64 on our Nintendo 64. He beat the game, got better and went back to work, and never played another video game ever again. He wouldn’t even tell me how to beat it. It took me forever.
5 years before you were born? You must be super young!
does the math
…fuck.
The closest thing I have to a video game seeming old is black and white ones like Pong or Space Invaders. I’m old enough to remember when Pac-Man was current tech.

Think about the fact that an 11 year old who got a Switch at launch is a literal adult now. It’s bizarre for me to think about.
And yeah lol I totally get that, the PS1 only came out like 5 years before I was born but it felt like ancient technology to me.
Oh man, I can’t imagine what you must think of cartridges.
The first game beat I was 6 or 7. I wasn’t supposed to play it- it was “dad’s”. But that shiny, golden cartridge was too hard to pass up.
(Yes I beat Zelda before he did. Also got caught when I told him how to beat water temple.)

I’m so sorry you couldn’t have played the OG DK…. So much better….
