For me it is the first time with Super Mario. I and my 4 year older brother was at his soccer friend place. I could have been 7-8 years (I think), my parents and my brother friends parants were some were else. Looking after us was the 4 year older sister to the friend we were at. We started with first playing some duck hunt (or my brother and his friend played), after that they put me in front of the tv and the nes with Super mario brors (of course just to get rid of me 
)
I can not remember more than the joy I felt for sitting their playing and playing for hours. Since then I have never felt like that for any game. I can't remeber how far I did get, or how good I was I just remeber that I had really great time.
Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!
