Having focused on a lot of tech reviews and such over the last few weeks, I wanted to switch it up a bit and drop a few suggestions for any gamers in your life for the upcoming holiday season. We all know that come November and December it will be very difficult to find the latest consoles and games (even online), so I wanted to suggest you take a step back from the modern consoles and games and look to the past. Having been unable to locate a Wii the last couple of years around the holiday season (up in frigid New Hampshire), I decided to instead spend the cash I had reserved on just a console and game for a whole mess of old school games and consoles. In addition to getting a lot of cool stuff for my money, I rediscovered my love of gaming. I mean, things used to be so simple and enjoyable. Not to say todays games aren't awesome, they are just really involved. I found that I missed popping in an old game for 20-30 minutes before dinner, or after work to "decompress".
Anyway, I just wanted to throw this idea out there for all the gamers in your life. Besides, I've never met a gamer who couldn't go into detail about how much they enjoyed a particular old school game or series on their favorite 8 or 16 bit console. If you're interested in some old school gaming ideas and reviews, check out my blog 8-Bit Memoirs where I post video of old games as well as quick synopsis' and purchase info.
