forgotten past !





















































Look familiar ? well, as people say, " old is gold ". These are the first game consoles we nagged our parents about, well at least i did. Hmmm i remember my first time i held the Atari console, especially playing that frog game. where u have to control and help the frog to leap from one side of the road to another, or playing the new modified version of Mario on the Super Nintendo. We can never forget the introduction of Sega Mega drive and its introduction to Sonic and Tails. Frankly speaking i never had an Amiga, i kept nagging, begging for a game that introduced Street Fighter and what a game it was.
What I'm trying to say is that, game console was a vital part of our childhood. People nowadays compare each others childhood by the type and number of game consoles owned by each person during that particular phase of life. " now that's history " but what seems to be the problem is that people still go through those actions and comparisons during their older ages, with the introduction of PS3, people started comparing themselves with the purchase of the new console. " now that's a problem " you see what was so innocent in the past has dramatically and drastically & sadly changed and evolved in to a horrible concept, a concept that has shallowness and materialism written all over it, a concept that states and negatively measure the wealth people have. Frankly it evolved to state one thing " my dad is better than yours "

Guys !! it's just one stupid expensive game that surely will be forgotten and put aside in the near future.

Shaaa5baary! Btw. I wanna add something about the latest console by Nintendo: Wii has a plug-in that allows you to play old (back in the day) stuff. Seems like fun but the prices that are presented to us (Wii , PS3) are above the price ceiling because its not officially released in the Middle-East yet.
