Wii Time with the Classics
Mom and Gabriel went out shopping today. Gabriel got an old Gamecube Luigi game; Mom bought me a Wii download card. So tonight I shopped the Wii classic games. We now have the NES Donkey Kong, original Mario Brothers, Legend of Kage, and Elevator Action.
Gabriel was still mesmorized by the classic-pixelated games, but he wanted me to play them so he could watch. Hannah rolled next to me, watched for a little bit, then went (rather quietly) to sleep next to me.
I think Gabriel's favorite was Elevator Action. For those that don't recall, you get to play a secret agent stuck in a skyscraper, opening doors and avoiding (or shooting) the bad guy spies. All to cute, bouncy monophonic music. Cool stuff.
Off to ebay to find some more Gamecube titles. I know: sad the things that motivate us sometimes....

We're with you on the classic video games. That's all we have in our house. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong... The kids have no idea what X-Box or Play-Station mean. I really don't know either. :-)

Yes, those games were (are) great. Since you're local, you might want to check out Ground Kontrol if ever in Portland. Wall-to-wall classic arcade games: lots of fun.
