Last night I felt old.

I have a group of high school guys that hang out with me on Wednesday nights. This group gets together to play video games and eat pizza. We normally play Halo 3 and Super Smash Brothers Brawl, but I wanted to change it up so things don't get too boring for the guys.

Last night I decided to break out my NES and my Super Nintendo. I figured, since they are into games they probably would be a bit interested in the old school. Boy was I wrong.

Every time I tried to persuade the guys to come and play Super Mario Kart or Mortal Kombat, I got nothing but complaints.

"Dude! These graphics are horrible! Look how lame these characters fight."

"I guess this Mario Kart started it all, but you can't even throw the turtle shell behind you."

"I don't want to play Ninja Gaiden. It seems pretty lame."

I was a little bit ticked. Don't these guys appreciate some old school? I suppose not. I can't blame them. Some of it is pretty dated compared to the new.

It might be time to start a game night for some older gamers that would love playing some of the old stuff. I mean I have bins of these games in my house. They should get some use other than me playing them.
