...I was about 10 years old when I got my very first video game console, the NES. With that system came Super Mario bros. and Duck Hunt. I was so excited that I rushed directly down to the t.v. room and immediately hooked up the system.

Over the next few months I must have logged in over 200 hours playing Super Mario bros. The game concept was incredible and it was so easy to learn how to play.

Turbo 16 video Games

...produce much more complex video games. This system was marketed as the first 16-bit system, and had a great start in the market in the United States. The system was first released in 1989.

Why Super Mario bros 3 Is the Greatest Game of All Time

1. Silicone skins for your Wiimote and Nunchuk controllers are highly recommended. They are also made for the classic controller (the type with the cord which is more like the controllers you are used to seeing). They improve the grip, keep the controllers clean, and help prevent damage from scratches, dents, and drops. Plus, they look cool and come in a wide variety of colors, including solids, two-toned, and patterns...even some that glow in the dark!
