Do you remember?

OK, I have to know how many of you remember, loved or maybe even still play or have the Old Nintendo? Remember Super Mario Brothers? 1, 2 AND 3? Well, we have a few older game systems and none new. Sometimes I think we are the only family on the block that doesn't, but, its not a big thing in our household. Well, years (lots of them ) ago, I had all these and some "cheater" books to go with some of the games. So, my daughter and I play them once in a while. We got it out last week and spent days going through SM3. lol We had to use the old Game Genie (do they make those anymore?) but, we finally got through the WHOLE thing and she got to beat the Big Bad Kroopa at the end! We were playing for a few days, on and off, then Friday decided we were gonna do the WHOLE thing. We sort of pooped out around 9:30, BUT, hubby said, shut the TV off, leave the game on and finish it later. Boy, sometimes he is just too smart!! That's why I married him. :) SO, then on Sat. afternoon, we finished the last of the world. We had a really good time beating the bad guys together and accomplishing something too. Studying the book to see which was the best way to go and how much further we had to go. Summer is over and school starts on Monday, so we probably wont do many more SB3 marathons. Maybe we should move on to the Sega now????
