So we're at it again. If anyone ever said the NES is going to go away, oh how wrong they were. Myself, Steve, and a few others are on the verge of yet another "rebirth" of the NES in our lives. While it is at the very beginning stages, I can assure you that this is for real. It began with a rediscovery of our other passions from times past, and the NES was just a natural choice to follow. I would say the beginning came about 2 months ago when Steve was in town visiting and we pulled out Rampart for old times sake. Since then, I personally have been enthralled with the idea of bringing the NES to the center of my life once again. While it has come slowly, it has begun. I now have ringtones of Double Dragon and Megman 2 on my phone, and have spent time getting reacquainted with those games recently. Last night I beat Ninja Gaiden 2 for the first time in 2-3 years, reminding myself that I am still very good at NES games. Now we need to continue.
The plan is to kick this thing off by Steve and I each buying a new game that neither of us has played before and racing to see who can beat it first. I encourage anyone reading this to try something of the sort, as I think this will be an incredibly rewarding and competitive project. NES nights and new games will come this summer, and hopefully by the time June rolls around the rebirth of the NES once again will be in full swing!!
