#898: Playing old school video games
While playing on the newest console is fun, it doesn’t
compare to playing the retro games. When the GameCube came out, I was only
about ten when I got it. Then, it was the newest console. Today, it is one of
the classical consoles. I had Super Smash Bros., Mario Cart, NHL 2002, Pac Man
3D, etc. a few years ago, I brought the game console our cabin in Eureka
Montana. Whenever it is raining down there, me, my brother, and my sister are
on it playing our old time favorite games. In the family, I was the best at
Mario cart, and NHL 2002, while my brother Adam was the best at Super Smash
Bros. My sister was good at the Racing games, but wasn’t quite as good as me
and Adam. It was always fun to play my old games, because of how often I don’t
get to. Another old console that is fun to play on is my original Xbox. It was
old, but it had some of the best games on it. At first, the only game I had was
Battlefront II. It was a Star wars game where you could fly in space, be clone
troopers, and sometimes be a Jedi. We got the console from my Dads friend from
work. His kids were done with it, so he offered it to us. The game was
preloaded onto the console, so we always could play it. It is still at our home
under the living room TV. The game was originally released in 2005, we got the
console and game shortly after 2006. In the same year, we got a new game for
the Xbox; it was Need for Speed 3. It was from 1998. It was the oldest game we
had, but it was still a very fun game to play. At first, we had a hard time
winning the races and catching the racers, but after about a week, we got
really good, and worked through the levels. We would sometimes prefer to play
on these old school games than the new Call of Duty, Halo, or Just Cause. These
games were so different from the new games because they had their own type of
story line, the new ones were following along the same line. This is why the
old games were awesome.
