Still not sure why you're sorry?

Have you guys played original Donkey Kong? Mario's first appearance!

You ask that question like some of us aren't old enough to have been around when the original Donkey Kong was popular.

A one word expression indicating my inability to properly appreciate the accomplishment due to my age. Self deprecating in Mario-land.

Hey, man, I don't know what you guys were interested in. But it's surprisingly more difficult than one would expect.

Actually, much of the older games, especially those in the 8-bit nintendo category, are infamous for how frustratingly difficult they were. Games nowadays are a cakewalk compared to a lot of the older ones.

Agreed. It's really fun to do at parties and stuff, though. Did you every try and play Battletoads?

i stopped playing video games after they got more than 1 joystick and 1 button (fire or jump). i remember precisely, it was defender - there were buttons all over that game, i said that's it, i'm goin fishin with my dad.

I actually got Battletoads as a kid when it came out for the NES. It is definitely one of the more difficult games made, and even though I considered myself to be pretty good at it, I could never get past level 10 I believe it was. Awesome game though. You should try Ghosts 'n Goblins. It makes Battletoads seems simple in comparison.

Loved Donkey Kong. I have fond memories of me and my brothers starving all week in order to parlay lunch money into Donkey Kong heaven. This simple pleasre required a mile walk/jog and a lie regarding our whereabouts, but all worth it.
