I never buy new consoles -- or should I say I did not buy one for about a quarter century (24 years to be exact). To give you an idea of how long that is, many of you were not alive when I bought my Intellivision in 1982. (I am not counting the Commodore 64 I bought in 1984 since I got that to be a computer though now it is basically a classic game-player).

Of course, I have virtually every system. Before I bought my Wii, I had a GC, PS2 and Xbox hooked up to my TV. And I had a Dreamcast, PS1, Saturn, N64, 3DO, SNES, and Genesis on easy access. But I bought all of them used (along with my other 20 systems) and most of the time, it was late or even after the product cycle.

So it is very different for me to have a new game system and if it was not for the Wii -- the White Box of Joy -- I would not have one.

I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
