Why did I ask for a SNES Mini for Christmas? Now I'm addicted again and can't stop playing!!! Lol. Still my favourite 16bit console.

Already half way through Zelda and loving it. Still think it's the best Zelda in the series. Have collected all 3 pendants and the master sword and am in the dark world rescuing maidens in destress. Doesn't seem quite as hard as I remember, but I'm still going to finish it again with all items found and areas discovered.

Discovered my wife had never played Super Mario Kart! I KNOW! Was she living under a rock? I'm sure I'd played it with her before. Anyway she wanted a game, but then gave up and quit 5 minutes later saying the game was impossible to play as the controls were hard to work out. What? Said the steering was too sensitive and she never made it round the first corner! Lol

Tom said he wanted to try. Bear in mind he's only 6 and never really played a video game other then a couple of early arcade games such as Space Invaders and Pacman on my arcade cab. I discovered he also couldn't get the hang of it and couldn't get past the first corner! What's going on!! Shamed. We made the decision to keep him away from gaming mostly until he was interested himself so he would become interested in other things, and it has worked. He hardly ever sits starring at a screen, which is what we wanted. He would rather grab some paper and do some artwork or writing, build some lego etc.. great. But also embarrassing he can't pick up a video game! Lol. It seemed more a hand to eye coordination and multitasking issue. Couldn't steer and accelerate at the same time. Oh dear. Need to start intensive game training!
