That’s an awesome story (not the trade ban part but that you made the most of the situation)! Those games are always the best, the memories always matter most.
That’s awesome! I was born after the NES era, so I’m just now going back and checking out more 8-bit and 16-bit era games. I did of course play Super Mario Bros. and SMB 3 on my 3ds though, the platforming on SMB3 is still solid today.
