My brother and I went into a used game store last summer where they had a demo of Super Mario 64 going on a TV, and after browsing for a bit I paused and gestured at our polygonal little friend and said, "Remember when those were the revolutionary and mind-blowing graphics?" and we both laughed.

Yeah, SNES is where I'm stuck, too. In my day, you started at the left side of the screen and went to the right side. And these controllers didn't have any of that ergonomic crap. Kids these days are soft.
