Having grown up with Super Mario Bros and the Legend of Zelda, even just thinking about these games brings me back to the old times and gives me a warm shiver.

I still remember that christmas morning in 89 or 90 when I got my first Nintendo. It was snowing outside, which made it feel even more cozy inside. My friend and me had been playing Super Mario Bros almost all morning and had forgotten time in between. Suddenly it was lunchtime and my grandma came for visit. She correctly observed that I hadn't even touched her present yet (I forgot what it was). It was still at the same position where I put it after opening it. Super Mario Bros had me so hooked that I'd forgotten about the rest. After that, Miyamoto's creations always followed me around, be it on the GameBoy, the SNES, or the N64. Godspeed Miyamoto, you shaped my youth and I thank you for it.
