retro gamer.

i'm sooooo happy!!! i can finally play old nintendo and sega games that i grew up with, on my PSP (play station portable)!!! :-)

when i was deciding which portable video game console to get, i was torn between the DSLite and the PSP as there were several old games that i could play only with the DSLite. but the PSP won at the end, as it also had the ability to watch mp4s on it (hehe). besides, i was told that there were emulators available to play other game formats :-)













in particular, i have a bunch of mario brothers games (all-time favorite!) -- including an "enhanced" version of the very same family computer game i spent hours and hours and hours playing when i was a kid! (who didn't?) it has the very same 1-ups, secret coin banks and hidden tunnels in all the right places! :-)

i also now have sega's "aladdin" game, which i never got to finish during my younger years. i remember that my brother only borrowed this game from his friend and when he had to return it, i remember being so upset coz i didn't get to finish it to the end!











ahhh, simple joys!

p.s. - many special thanks to my office teammate, barian, for installing these games in my PSP! :-)
