I've always had a soft spot for old games like Super Mario World, Sonic the Hedgehog, Chrono Trigger, and the old Pokémon games.
Last week, my girlfriend got me a retro mini PC for my birthday. When I opened it and saw the design, it took me right back to my childhood.
I used to come home from school, play little games while my mom made dinner, and wait for my dad to get home from work. Life felt pretty simple back then, and I guess I didn't realize how happy those ordinary days were until they were gone.
Things have changed a lot since then, and my family isn't what it used to be. But those old games have always stayed with me, and I know the acemagic retro x5 is a modern minipc, and its retro look is probably just part of the design. Still, having it on my desk brings back that same warm feeling. It's strange how something so small can remind you of a time when you had no idea how much you would miss being a kid.
I'm really grateful to my girlfriend. She knew I'd like the retro look, but I don't think she realized just how much it would mean to me.
Anyone else have an old game that takes you straight back to your childhood?
