Bring back the days when people actually did the real thing playing baseball/softball at a local stadium or fields. Leave the video games for old people and those unable to participate in athletics.

Playing with others in the same room will always be a better option than playing alone, though I do love to play online with friends, especially Red Dead, it is too much fun chasing bad guys or tearing up a town together. I like the private options they give you in that game, so you can set up a session to play with only those you invite, so no pimply faced gangsta wanna bees to deal with there. Wish all online open world games gave that option. Many might, I don’t know as I haven’t played all that many myself. Great read as always Norse.

On the same coin though, I wanted it badly in my life. In the 90’s my lifestyle was that of a hobbo really, hell, I was lucky I had a TV and a SNES -- forget about that new-fangled, super-complicated thing that makes the phone cry and a screen do… something? The fact I could play the amazing Star Fox with its “Super FX” graphics chip built into the cart and the clever SNES enhancing that with its funky Mode-7 abilities, topped off with my stereo plumping’ out the soundtrack to Top Gun as I played -- I was already in the future!

Ever play Micro Machines on the SNES? That had 4 player mode. I know, big woop right? Damn right big woop! FOUR players on one screen was hardly ever done! In fact, it was so far ahead of its time consoles didnt even have enough slots for that many controllers, instead, two people had to share a pad -- imagine trying that with 3 other mates equally pissed as farts. Super fun was had, and there’s NOTHING any modern console can do to match that particular kinda hilarity, trust me, I’ve tried.

Great read Norse, thanks for the nostalgia trip! See ya at the board-walk arcade?
