/vr/ - Retro Games

This is the story I'm sharing with my friends about what happened so I thought I'd share with you guys too:

I stopped by Gamer's Paradise today and I found the original Final Fantasy! I cleaned up the cart and pop'd that bad boy into my NES only to find that my childhood friend wasn't feeling too well. It was having issues reading games. So I tried just about everything I could think of to get it going, including dismantling and cleaning her up. But it still wasn't looking good, the issues persisted no matter what I did so I sighed and accepted the death of my NES.

I was upset. I reassembled my NES and went to grab my FC Twin (an emulator) so I could at least play FF while I mourned. But before that I decided for old times sake to throw in Contra and turn it on out of hope.

AND IT WORKED! I've never been so excited to see that old familiar loading screen in my life! And in a surprising twist, my little black cat must be a gamer girl because she couldn't stop watching the screen either!

So yeah, that's my Friday night
