Check It Out

Whilst perusing our local library's literary offerings the other day, I noticed that the library also lets you check out . . . 


. . . an NES Classic Edition.  Our kids were mildly entertained by this technological antique as they busted 8-bit bricks and tried not to get munched by piranha plants.


I was more excited to play my dad's favorite NES game: Castlevania.  I was pleased to find that I still had pretty good timing as I dodged ravens and bats, and that I remembered where most of the game's Easter eggs are.  I made it to Level 4 before Frankenstein put an end to my monster-fighting exploits.  Not too shabby for someone who hasn't held a virtual whip in about three decades.
