My own personal story with the NES didn't last that long, because I was a kid without money, terrible at platformers, and my parents wouldn't buy me a lot of games. You can only play Super Mario Bros so many times before you're tired of not making it past the 2nd level. So I eventually switched to computers (Apple II vintage), and never looked back to consoles. This past year, however, I decided to take up a little retro project based on the NES. Its best described as a "video game music player alarm clock", using some authentic hardware. It uses the CPU from an actual NES to faithfully synthesize music from actual NES games, while building the surrounding system out of modern components.
