    Awesome post Tara! Nintendo is just magic to me because it takes me back to my childhood basement, playing into the wee hours of the morning with my brother.(also kind of scary to flashback:) It was the only entertainment we had. I was also impressed with the DS and am getting back into gaming more. We have the Wii and that is awesome, it is so simple to play and you can get the old school games. My favorite is Double Dragon and it is not available to download yet:(

    I had a great time, too! I love using it at the airport or on the airplane and no I do not share with my husband. He hasn't even bothered to ask, cuz he knows the answer ;-p

    I didn't give it away, I sold it. It was one of the best parenting decisions I ever made. Today you are a great reader and love the outdoors! What a legacy! Now you can Nintendo as much as you like. My husband gave me one for my birthday and I have yet to get near it. Sudoku has captured him! I guess it's back to Dostoyevsky for me!

    Nintendo DS is a must have during travel for camping with my kids as to keep them entertained throughout the enduring trip. It also has other very entertaining and brain healthy games and among them my favorite is Brain Age! =)

    When you're really into gaming, I'm sure your gonna get hooked. I was once addicted to playing World of Warcraft good thing I got past through it.

    Dr Mario is so engaging that you can't just ignore it, I played it for hours, I just love it.
