Game, Vide Game Love

“The ultimate game on Nintendo for our family was Super Mario Bros. Countless hours were spent in front of the TV with my sister and brothers just playing Mario, none of us wanted to stop but were forced to when it was lunch, dinner, or bedtime. I would wake up 30 minutes earlier to school than everyone else just so I can play all by myself without having to pass the hand around when I died or completed the level. My mom would however prevent me from doing that during the day and always say “il door, door… Omar 5alas doorak 2a3ti 7ada tani” (We are playing by turn, Omar yours has ended and now it’s someone else’s). The only other game I remember being addicted to when owning the Nintendo was Captain Majed(Captain Tsubasa) which was in Japanese but after playing it for several hours you get to know which button is ‘kick’ and which is ‘pass’.
”

An excerpt from a great post by my brother (back to blogging after a few years’ absence), inspired by this month’s upcoming #AmmanTT gaming session.

    The last Video game I played was Super Mario…and I had the very same obsession of yours :)

    Those were the days !!

    I never touched a Play Station, and I’m not even planning to.

    there was a very big smile drawn on my face , when u start talking about the “door, door… Omar 5alas doorak 2a3ti 7ada tani” , it’s exactly what we were doing with Mario Bros in our Nintendo Family System , i also remember “Captin Majed” and i’ts secret password to unlock the final team => “hhhhh hhhhh hhhh aaaa”

    but these days the games is more complicated with a very huge story , maybe in the past , the games was more funny because we have the time to play them or maybe because they was very simple with no story so u can write your own story in your own imagination

    maybe :”)
