Think about video games for a second.

If you’re into them, then you probably play either alone or with like-minded friends.

But what if you want to play with folks who aren’t gamers?

Many retro games are fun, right up until you start playing them.

Sometimes those graphics are so primitive that you cannot see past them.

Other times, the game mechanics themselves are primitive in a way that just doesnt cut it today.

Its like watching old movies with their wooden dialog or old TV shows with basic plots and story arcs.

Were just used to something more sophisticated today, whether or not its actually better.

But a show likeThe Wirenot only stands up today but is still better than most current TV shows.

There are games like that, too.

Perhaps the best vintage game is Nintendos Super Mario World.

The UK-based company behind the machine has partnered with games publishers to offer genuine titles.

The games come in collections, so each cartridge has several titles.

Who can forgetNinja Golfor a game so minimal it is simply namedAdventure?

But not all of them.

Nintendos originalSuper Mario Kartis way harder than the current Switch version, butSuper Mario Worldis pitched perfectly.
