As I'm currently sitting in my certification class for Windows Enterprise Server 2008, and reminiscing about Atrari, and all the old technology we used to use in my house as a kid. We had a computer (can't think of the name of it) which connected to our TV and had a cassette tape drive to store and read data, I remember our first Windows PC (Windows 3.1, which ran Windows as a shell not a full OS), and even the fist Apple I ever put my hands on the Apple IIe. My how technology has changed.

But, my love of gaming has more or less stayed the same, I still love playing Tempest, Joust, Galaga, Haunted House, Pac-Man, Ultima (PC obviously), Dungeouns and Dragons (again PC). It's just that technology has made it easier for me to access my retro gaming, and I don't have to take up extra real estate keeping my old consoles around. Virtual Console on WII and 3DS were huge reasons why I bought the next gen consoles from Nintendo. Although the PS3 is getting better with PS one and PS 2 classics being more available now too.

Thanks for the information on the 3D Classics: Kid Icarus download available from GameStop. I just ordered it online for $5.99. As for Nintendo not releasing VC games for any of the consoles this week, I too am disappointed. But, I still have quite a few to catch up on anyways and besides I just got Kid Icarus: Uprising 2 days ago and haven't even started playing it. I hope everyone else enjoys any new games they've gotten this week.
