1983.

I had a cabbage patch kids doll. Its name was Milton. I had another too, its name was Tina.


I didn't have a Coleco Vision. My neighbor did, but as soon as he got his Nintendo we never played it.





Super Mario Bros. 3 was the bomb. John Clarkson, the kid who lived across the street from me got it before I did. He got it for "first communion."



The movie "The Wizard" was, for the most part an advertisment for the video game Super Mario Bros. 3.



Somehow these kids, who were seeing Super Mario 3 for the first time, knew all about the whistle warp and other suprises (Get the star! The star!)
