The Very First Game I've Ever Played
Earlier this month, one of my favorite NES games recently turned 40. That game was Super Mario Bros. At the time of its release in 1985, funny enough, 40 million copies of the classic game were sold. These don't include ports and re-releases. I was born two years and a month after it came out. Yes, I'm showing my age here a bit. I was lucky and fortunate to be born in one of the best decades. Picture this: it's New Year's Eve 1989 and just for context, it was also my now estranged father's birthday. At the time, I was a two-year-old who discovered video games for the first time. Seeing my father's NES made me curious and popped Super Mario Bros. inside the game console. For the new generation, the NES games we played came in cartridges. To make sure the game worked properly, you would have to blow inside the cartridge a few times, pop it in the console, and hopefully it'll work.

My case for The Sims 3 against The Sims 4
I went back to The Sims 3 recently after Steam put all of the expansion packs on sale for $190 total. Being a 50% off deal, I grabbed and was transformed back to days of being lost in the world of my creation and losing time and not caring in the world how many house have passed. Turns out, two hours had passed as I was simply testing out the game on my laptop. Testing, running, creating a sim, creating their spouse, creating their child, and moving them into their first home to be exact. After three years playing The Sims 4 back in 2014, it was so refreshing to have a game that I enjoyed in my hands again.

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. It wouldn’t arrive on the Nintendo Entertainment System – the western version of the Famicom – until the following year in North America, as a launch title for the system, and not in PAL regions such as the UK and Europe until 1987. 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.
