The box he brought didn't JUST have a Nintendo in it. It had a Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and Playstation. But I hooked up the Nintendo first. We sat down and played a couple rounds of Super Mario Brothers. And it was a lot of fun.
I remember the Christmas that we finally got a Nintendo. My grandparents brought it back from Colorado. A lot of times in Alaska, things cost a lot more than they do in the lower 48. When people go on vacation, they buy things and bring them back because they save a shitload of money. That's just an insider tip, in case you ever move to Alaska and want a gigantic set of Kenwood speakers, but don't want to pay a lot of money for them.
Anyway, it was brand new and we set it up and it came with the POWER PAD. You remember the Power Pad? It was like twister, but with more electronics and stuff. That was the best. Maybe I should cancel my gym membership and just get another Power Pad. I could spend 45 minutes a day playing Nintendo Track and Field instead of swimming.
