Scoped

When I was a kid, we always had video games. The first I remember owning was a MegaDrive. It was great, but I really wanted Nintendo (aren't kids great?). One year, we got a SNES and it was the best thing ever. Super Mario World, Super Soccer, Street Fighter, Zelda. Childhood hours, gone. Probably explains a great deal about my social ability.

For some reason, I can't remember why, my dad sold the SNES and I always missed it. Sega started to systematically destroy Sonic and themselves and I wanted my SNES back. So whimsically, drunkenly, nostalgically on Saturday night (Charlotte's birthday, if you're keeping track) I decided to bring the SNES back into my life. I'm awaiting A Link to the Past, which should keep me quiet for a while (I never did finish it).

I bought the Super Scope because it's so badass and I loved it before. Although I'm not even sure that it works on LCD screens. (Update: it doesn't. Oops.)

For the record, I loved the Saturn. Still do. But it was one of the bigger nails in Sega's console coffin
