New Toy, Old Obsession

Nintendo Micro

Although I’ve always been quite keen on video games, my passion has been boosted by the arrival of my little Nintendo Gameboy Micro. It’s not any old Gameboy Micro, but a rare Famicom 20th Anniversary Micro. It’s a gorgeous little machine that is smaller than a normal size iPod and plays all Gameboy Advance (GBA) games. It’s small and light enough to put it my bag or jacket pocket. But what I love most is its nostalgic value - it reminds me of the Nintendo Entertainment System that I used to have and play with my brother. I wish we had kept that console. At least, I can still get some of the memorable old games (Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda and the famous Donkey Kong) from eBay.
