It always feels great whenever a memory that's been laying dormant for what feels like eternity randomly gets unlocked. but it really bums me out though, that with the passage of time our earliest of memories can easily fade and weaken. It's almost like we're forced to cling on to the next decade that came afterwards the now weakened memories and so on as time continues to pass us by, because the memories that are obviously less distant feel more vivid and are easier to recollect, as if they almost could of been yesterday.
At 25, 1990 nearly felt like yesterday. At 41 it feels like I'm looking back and wincing at an incredibly magical, yet semi-stone age. When you do the math, 20 years ago from when i was 25 was 1990, what's 20 years prior to now? 2005/2006. Crazy!
In terms of gaming, the DS Lite, Wii + Virtual Console(On my epic 32" 4:3 2005 Sony WEGA Trintiron CRT using component cables)and first 1-2 years of the 3DS(Aqua Blue 'launch' 3DS. Always Aqua blue. ) generations from 2005-2012 or so have completely overrided my late 80's & 90's gaming memories. Can't believe the DS Lite will be 20 years old this June, along with the Wii in Nov. Heck, even the 3DS is just over 15 now.
And I too miss the more Brooklyn styled Mario, which was amplified x1000 from the live actions segmants from the Super Mario Bros Super Show in 89'. And I always preferred the original inverted Fire flower jump suit too vs the new. Including Mario's stock/original jumpsuit which used to have Red on the outside/Blue shirt on the inside for SMB 1, 2 & Super Mario Bros. Super Show. They inverted the jumpsuit colors when SMB3 came out.
And speaking of Mario, do you remember this? I had this exact blanket from like 89 up until 95. Sooo nostalgiac. It was a blend of both Mario 1 & the first Legend of Zelda. The hand drawn toon styled late 80's art work is just timeless and really egnites that wonderment back when you're a kid.
