in the eighties i was heavily into video games and had the atari,sega and then the original nintendo.i was pretty good at the nintendo.i beat games like zelda,metroid,castlevania.loved the challenges that system gave me.then other interests took over and i never really got back into it.i hear in 2006 they are supposed to have a new nintendo system that plays the old games too.if this does happen i would be interested in getting back into it......
