Very cool. My younger brother's 16 right now, and he's had an N64 for a few years. I never had one when they were current, so he knows Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Paper Mario much better than I do.

This is awesome.

I didn't have any games growing up nor did I have friends with games, and didn't lay hands on a controller until just a couple years ago. I played some arcade games growing up but electronic games were pretty much a big NO in my house.

It has been interesting trying to play through things with a no-gaming background which gives me a lot of set backs and "puzzle" portions of things where seasoned gamers know that they need to solve something to move on....and I am still wandering around being completely lost. (apologies to those who I did the VOG raid with a couple nights back, I have no platforming experience and I know it's a drag watching me crash and burn regularly)

I like that parents are doing this and getting involved with kids rather than using games as a "go play this and leave me alone" out for themselves.

I was 4 years old when my Mom bought me a NES and copy of Metroid. I've been playing video games ever since and have had the privilege of seeing the industry become what it is today. Though I don't have any kids, I've thought about how I would deal with my gaming hobby should I one day level up to being a father.

This experiment really speaks to what I would kind of like to do. Mostly I think kids should play games, but I, personally, think they should be older before playing some of the stuff I play today. Mostly due to the violence, gore, and sexual content of a lot of my favourite games.

By starting at the "beginning" of gaming with classic, if old, titles I think you get that nice progression over time to mature content.

All this to say, I really like what this fellow has done. Though it's for different reasons than mine, I appreciate seeing the outcome of pursuing so novel an idea. Well done, sir!
