I downloaded the old Sunset Riders game on the Playstation store to play with my 5 year old. I could run around shooting stuff while she screwed around and learned how to make things move and shoot.



We have the new Ninja Turtles game now and she has a lot better understanding of the controls and can actually contribute a bit. Going to move on to Mario 3 and then Mario 64 next.

When I was 3 I opened a wood-paneled cabinet under our 200lb tube TV and discovered a birthday gift my dad had stuffed away nearly a decade prior: an NES box set with Mario/Duck Hunt complete with two controllers and light gun.

Even though I just finished Elden Ring on the beast that is the PS5, nothing will ever top the magic of my first journey through the Mushroom Kingdom on that little rectangular game pad. Which I’ve kept with me all these years and still use today with a USB adaptor.
