[/COLOR]Happy 20th Anniversary to Super Nintendo!

Can you even believe it's been 20 years since the launch of Super Nintendo?! I mean, it's been 20 long years since the first appearance of Yoshi! Just doesn't feel like it's been two decades. August of 1991...wow. I was 17 years old & my son was still in the womb at that time. He's now a full-grown man, getting ready to enter his 20's.
Holy shiz, I'm old.When the SNES was first released, it retailed for $200. Back then, that was outrageous!
Not a whole lot of parents were willing to pay that price for a gaming system for their kids. Needless to say, there were a lot of pissed off kids. As a matter of fact, the first time I even played an SNES was the day I bought it. I was the first of my friends to have one...and no, I did not share. I was too busy playing it, myself, to hand the controller over to anyone else. The first game I played on the SNES was The Legend of Zelda...of course.
I clearly recall the first time I beat the game. I was staying with my Mom in her house. I had my SNES in my bedroom and spent hour upon hour beating the piss out of boss after boss. The final boss came around and after a few failed attempts, I finally slaughtered his ass! I proceeded to jump around while hooting and hollering. My Mom came running down the hall while exclaiming, "What happened?! Are you okay?!" She apparently thought I'd hurt myself or something. I screeched, "I beat it! I BEAT IT!!" When she finally realized what I was saying, she gave me a look that said, "You have GOT to be kidding me. Get a grip, Karen." I don't think I'll ever forget that day. So anyway, Happy Anniversary to Super Nintendo!
Thank you for bringing me countless hours of happiness.
I
you ever so much!
