It is the case that every single video game - from SuperMario Land 2 on the gameboy right through to clever stuff on Playstations etc - has seen my boys beat me in a more than convincing manner.Wind the clock back a little bit to 1979 and the world's first fully colour arcade game Galaxian and there is a different story!
We got a box of tricks that plugs straight into the television - Galaxian reborn!!
The boys have not got a clue!!! I can thrash the living daylights out of them. They struggle to hit five figures!!! In the arcade game I was good for 60-70,000. Not quite back at that level yet, as you can see. But I'm happy!!!
Brings back memories of an old buddy Dave Gilbert. He had an amazing ability to defy death by zapping an alien right on top of his "ship". When asked how he did it, he replied "Look - if you're going to go for it - go for it!!!" Sound advice indeed! :-)
