A random memory…
I remember when I was a kid, and my dad got a Nintendo. We would sit around for ages playing Super Mario Brothers together. And when we played alone, we made sure we told the other what we’d accomplished, what secrets we’d found, what funny things happened. It was so much fun.
One of the things we discovered you could do was when you had a pipe at the edge of the screen, with a vine coming out of it, you could trap Mario behind the vine and it would look like he was dancing. We called it the vine dance and was thought it was absolutely the funniest thing ever. Or at least I did. After that we always tried to find some weird little thing in games that we could call the vine dance.
Something just made me think of that this morning. How much fun we used to have sitting around playing Nintendo.
I want a new Nintendo…! I want to play Dr Mario again.
