Nostalgia Time.

I've decided to put in this segment of nostalgia every now and then. I might talk about games and systems of the past that we might have forgotten about. I think the best feeling one can experience is when they were little and played a video game and loved it. They then forgot about it, but the second it was mentioned, they remember the game as if they played it yesterday and feel and urge to go out and find it. I keep having to go on E-Bay to find some of those old Super Nintendo games that I used to love to play.

Anyways, this time I am going to help you remember a little item called Game Genie. Remember that chunk of plastic that you had to stuff under a Super Nintendo game? Then you had to look in the code book to find the corresponding code to make the game easier to beat (like using invisibility or unlimited lives). If the game wasn't in the code book, there was no way you could get one because the Internet didn't exist when it first came out, or not nearly as many people had it as they do today. I liked Game Genie because when a game was impossible to beat ( more or less at a young age) a person still could experience what the rest of the game was like if it was too hard for them. In a way, Game Genie opened up an entire game to a person instead of a limited amount of levels that they could accomplish. So, here's to you, Game Genie, because I still own one but I never use it *wink wink*. Later.
