There's something special about the 2D Mario games. Somehow, Super Mario 64 and Galaxy were great and all, but the 2D games are a little more focused in their challenges i think. I was going to college when SMB came out, so I kinda missed out on it all. Funny, I don't remember any students with a NES, but I guess that wasn't the right audience. I got it later when I was starting to collect games in the mid 90s. Darn, it would be cool to boot up an old NES sometime. Gotta do some retro gaming soon.
