i used to be so patient

i recently discoverd an original nintendo emulator for a mac. but my anticipation to take a trip down memory road quickly turned into a sharp realization that most nintendo games suck. take for instance gradius, as for nintendo standards the theme song is pretty catchy, gave me goosebumps as a kid. it seems like a simple game of spaceship kills all. but it is a crappy game that starts you at the exact same place every time. and it is impossible to get past the first level without evey dieing at least once. the bottom line - don't make the mistake i did by substituting the wonderful memories of brainless gameplay as a prepubescent punk for the games themselves, you will set yourself up for an unfortunate realization that you have become an impatient jerk that demands more than 8 bit japanese brain-jerking
