It’s Thursday. Twice yesterday, I sat down at the computer telling myself I needed to post this week’s mash-up and somehow…I didn’t. I don’t know what to say. Anyway, let’s get to it.
I’ve been playing video games most of my life. It started with our Intellivision system and I stayed with that system a LONG time, even after the Nintendo Entertainment System came out. The NES was sweet but we couldn’t afford one. Finally, we did manage to buy one and of course, the most important game to own was the one that came with the machine, Super Mario Bros. I spent many an hour playing that game but I never managed to finish it. That last level was just too much for me. I never got into another Mario game as much as the original either.
Barnaby is pretty tall to be playing Mario, but this is the role he ended up with. He’s used to wearing overalls so it was an easy costume for him. It worked out pretty well.
That’s all for this week. Which video game franchise will I cover next? Find out next week (hopefully Wednesday)!
