So today I did what most wish they could do; I pulled out my brother’s Nintendo 64 and Mario Kart! It was a snow day, and I felt like going “old school”, with a little modern day technology added on the side. I played Mario Kart on a HD TV with surround sound. Mind-blowing, I know, Mario Kart like it’s never been before.
When I was little, my brother was the one to set up the game, but this time it was my turn. I blew inside the game, to make sure it worked properly, chose the number of players, chose Toad as my driver and then chose the easiest and most fun track: The Mushroom Cup. And within seconds I was having the time of my life. I forgot you didn’t have to wait for anything to load with Nintendo 64s, so the second I plugged it in was the same second I was racing. Later that day, my buddies came over and they brought their 64 games. So for hours and hours, we stayed in the same spot, trying one new game after the next, each bring back memories we couldn’t explain. It was an awesome snow day that made me realize going “old school” is the best way to go.
