Video Games

I think it is pretty ironic that we buy our children these portable games and begrudge their use. I don't know how many adults use portable games here in Japan, but I'm guessing more than a handful use them. I occasionally see parents waiting in the car to pick up their kids from lessons playing these handheld games. Personally, I have spurts of use and then long spells where I don't touch them t all. I remember Contra by Nintendo and spending far too much time trying to get to the heart of the alien that lived in the jungle!

I put up some online flash versions of a few of the games from the eighties and early nineties. Give them a run, but don't play too much, you may develop tendinitis.

Nostalgically,
