I need racoon power!

I now have Super Mario 1 and 3 on my computer. Along with Tetris and some other games, but let's face it. It doesn't get much better than Super Mario 3. I just played for about a half hour and made it to 2-1. I almost lost my final life on the Pirate Ship, but I was triumphant the second attempt. I didn't make it through 2-1 though. That might happen on Thursday. Or maybe even later tonight.



When I think of the countless hours my friend Erin and I used to waste on that game, it makes me cringe. Was there nothing better we could have done with our time? And to make matters worse, we never beat it. Oh, we came really close. We made it to 8-8, but could never kill the last dragon or whatever he is.

It's pretty hard playing it on a keyboard. If I could invent an original nintendo controller to plug into a USB port, I'm pretty sure I would be a billionaire.
