Old Skool

I recently pulled out my old Super Nintendo, which I believe is one of the greatest video game systems ever! It is so funny holding the old controller. It seems so small compared to the new controllers of the PS2 and GameCube. Anyway, I've been playing Contra III: The Alien Wars, and it's been a blast! Games of old had a challenge level that obliterates the majority of today's games. The last boss in Contra III is especially difficult! Guh! I'm out of practice so I imagine another day of play will get me back to my old skill level at the game.

Don't get me wrong, I love the games of today too. Shadow of the Colossus comes out tomorrow, which I'm really excited about. Then there is Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Kingdom Hearts 2, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, beatmania, etc, etc, etc. I'm an addict, I'll admit it! =)
