40 Years of Super Mario - Part 1: The 1980s
It’s September 2025 and Super Mario is forty years old. The first game in the series, the legendary Super Mario Bros. was released for the Famicom on 13th September 1985, one of the first games for Nintendo’s earliest true home console.

Regardless, the game was instrumental in revitalising the American video games market, which had suffered an almost lethal crash in 1983 due to a glut of low quality systems and games.

The Witcher vs Laser Beams
I've started playing The Witcher III: Wild Hunt - and quickly stopped playing it -approximately 17 times. Maybe 18 times. I've lost count really.

With a few basic options, combats will run much smoother and thus faster, allowing everyone to enjoy the entire session.
