@Clyde_Radcliffe maybe it’s something to do with that whole Nintendo ethos about them concentrating on their own stuff and not getting blindsided with what everyone else is doing? But on the other hand maybe if he did play other stuff it would open his mind a little to using Nintendo characters in different genres.

@scully1888 but this article is using the experience of playing a game as a narrative to their gender and sexual politics. These articles are getting much more common in journalism across every subject and they are often completely made up…..the writer taking an event from their past and using it as a basis for an article for what’s going on in their lives right now. Example, I could be a pilot and write a retrospective article about Pilotwings and say it changed my life and made me want to be a pilot. It’s complete nonsense but it try’s to pull at peoples heart strings and gain emotion from the reader.
It’s just poor, lazy journalism written to fuel the writers own agenda.

Brilliant console, I remember leaving my night shift at the Royal Mail and going straight to Dixon’s to wait in line for one ( no preordering nonsense back then ).
Also though, very much a console of its time, the games don’t hold up great these days but I’m happy to have the memories and to have been there at the time.
