I want to know what you all think of this: I used to play
Super Mario All-Stars or
Super Mario World just about all the time. This was around when they first came out. When the N64 debuted, I sold all my SNES games. Though this saddened me, Super Mario 64 made it easy.
In 2003, through the miracles of modern science (or just Funcoland), I got back most of the SNES games I used to have.
Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World was one of the first games I obtained, and I started playing immediately. I did not stop until sort of recently--about a month ago.
I had a good reason to stop playing. Even though I was still having fun with each of the five games in the compilation, I began to get worried. I started to worry that the fun would run dry, and 2D Mario games would become bland forever. So, I forced myself to take a break. Does that make sense to you?
You should know that I played these games
a lot. I'm sort of a quality-over-quantity type of person, so when I find something I like, I really stick to it. At the time I decided to stop, I was actually playing upside-down. I didn't need to do this to have
fun, but it made the games more challenging... So what do you think? Does the old adage, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," apply to Mario games as well?
