I've started playing supermario on my friend's nintendo a lot these days. It is SO much fun. I've reached world 8. I still haven't figured out how to unlock world 4 and world 7. Sigh. I will though..
I prefer playing simple games like mario than the world famous NFS or fifa or tomb raider or blah blah blah ....
Have you ever played hocus pocus ? Oh what a fun game!! You've to go and collect crystals all over the place, drink all kinds of potions..
Maybe I prefer these games because I played them in my childhood days. There are many memories attached with games like these. Prince of Persia, Alladin, Gold Runner, tetris..
Me and my sister used to play Alladin together. I used to shoot with the CTRL button and she used to control the navigation! oh what time we've had, collecting the apples, the gems and the flutes...!
Then there was this sudden rage of video games. We used to exchange those yellow color game cartridges having 99,999 games inside them!
There was a game of tanks, don't remember the name, it was a 2-player game. The goal was to save a plant(?) guarded by bricks. I can hear the game's music in my head right now.. we could build our own battle field using brick, grass, cement, water etc.. On killing the enemy tanks we used to get powers as well.. Anybody played it?
Even the cartoons aren't the same anymore. Its no -mickey mouse-chip n dale-quack pack-duck tales- days anymore. Its ben10, pokemon blah blah.. They all seem the same to me..
I'm taking the risk of sounding like an ol' grandma in this post.. Oh who cares! I loved my childhood!!

Hell Yes..!!! Today's Cartoons dont have the charm of Mickey mouse,Bugs bunny, Daffy duck etc etc. Somehow the Pokemon breed doesnt interest me at all.
And wrt the Games. Prince of Persia is a classic. I remember being so obsessed with the game that I can still remember the 7th level which continues from the 6th as a free fall. And killing Jaffar in the 12th level is fresh to this day.
There was also Dangerous Dave. The game where we should collect diamonds, shoot crabs and stuff.
There is also Wolfenstein 3D which is about a prisoner of war escaping from a Nazi Prison. Its immortal.
Then came the Classic Road Rash. I badly miss it. If aybody has it pls do give me. :)
After that in the action genre was James bond and Max Payne. Man, never before had i seen "Shoot-dodge", a move where u can jump forward and shoot sideways.. etc etc.
Today's games like NFS, Assassins, Far Cry, Counter Strike offer more realism and faster gameplay than the previous games. People are getting more impatient by the day and want games with fast gameplay. "Impatience is the new life". But Flash games are fun anyway. The cockroach killing, mosquito swatting games are fun any day. :D
Oh ya! How could I forget to mention dangerous dave!!
I somehow never enjoyed Wolfenstein 3D though...
Impatience is the new life: sounds like an ol' grandpa to me ;) ;)
This is off the point, but old grandpas seldom get impatient..! Poor adverts who work for airtel.. :)
