Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 21, 2014

Even I grew up a little bit in the days of NES.

Father daughter moment spoiled.

Must be small cups of coffee, the level in the pot never changed.

His beard grew fast.

Don’t forget the cream and sugar.

I would have figured him for an espresso man.

Am I the only one to think that a fully caffeinated unicorn is a bad idea?

It was my first console. I played it a lot but haven’t held onto it like the Super NES. Thing is, even then, it felt largely like a collection of limitations: few colors per moving object, buzzy noises, little memory…

I’m sorry sir.

Nice “layering” of the dual action, Dana!

I’m surprised he doesn’t still own his NES. The least he could do is buy one off ebay so he could play it along with Phoebe.

If Phoebe takes that straight she’s going to wonder what all the hype is about!

I still have my old Nintendo 64. Don’t want to part with it.Zelda And The Ocarina Of Time, Majora’s Mask, Nightmare Creatures … what great ways to waste time.

Having read many of your (over 113,000) comments, it doesn’t seem as if your early life was filled with much joy. That’s the impression you leave, anyway.

“Never had video games, never want any.”

You just haven’t found the right games that compels you to participate… yets.

I still play NES games. Both Zeldas, Pool Of Radiance, and of course Super Mario 1 & 3.

Amen brother-I find I rarely have enough time to do the things that need to be done much less idle hours away playing games although I did enjoy playing Shining Force back in the day on my nephew’s system-he was a total deadbeat who could spend days in his room playing games but couldn’t hold a job because of “ADD”
