If I remember correctly the game I loved playing on Nintendo was called spiritual warfare. I had all of the Mario brothers and even duck hunt which I loved too. And some others that I can’t remember. I was good but not great. I did learn some cheat codes though lol.

I was not familiar with the game Spiritual Warfare. Looks like it was an unlicensed game that was a clone of The Legend of Zelda. That is fascinating. I am going to look for an emulator and check it out.

Thank you, Margreet. I appreciate you.

Everyone else: Margreet is a super talented artist. I especially love her take on Plato's Allegory of the Cave. https://philosophycomics.substack.com/p/the-allegory-of-the-cave

Great message this week for sure!

My son had a Nintendo. A couple of them I’m sure. I think I may have had an Atari. I mainly played video games at the game store a quarter at a time. Wasted a lot of money there but also have great memories of those times.

The most I spent in quarters was on the arcade version of Mortal Kombat at the video store near my house.

I had Nintendo and Atari too! Legend of Zelda was a good one. Loved Tetris and there was a Bart Simpson game with one part I could never pass! lol. Thank you for the memories and also the deeper message ♥️.

Bart vs. The Space Mutants was a great time. The X-ray specs and spray paint... :) Did you have a Game Genie?

Thank you for reading. I am glad you enjoyed it.
