Shit, I LOVED my NES.

I just downloaded a SNES emulator a week ago, and since then, I've clocked SMB3 (One of the greatest games, EVER.), Super Mario World, and SMB2......I'm about to have a go on the original SMB, the one I could never finish back in the day. (Level 8-2 always fucking killed me.)

....All the above games are on SNES's "Super Mario All-Stars."

I have SOOO many memories of playing NES and SNES games. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, is still absolutely stunning, and beautiful for its time......Still VERY playable.
