Gaming used to be about using your imagination and having a good time. These days developers seem to focus more on achievements and shooting enemies into a bloody mess. Gaming has lost its direction, the elements that made the games from our childhood so great are all but gone in today's modern games.

Although not many have been blessed with the same experiences with gaming as I have, I do feel that it is probably an experience that many gamers at one point or another have gone through at least once in their lives. Back in the late 80's and early 90's, who could forget timeless classics like Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Castlevania IV and so many more? For most of us, they were more than just games, they were adventures; an escape from the realities of the ever changing world around us. With these games, there was almost no limit to what we could do, if we wanted to fly, we flew, if we wanted to throw fire, by all means we became Goomba arsonists.
