I woke up yesterday morning thinking about how it has been a while since I've played my Nintendo Entertainment System. Craving playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mostly but I have also had a smouldering desire to play some other games. Despite this strong desire to play the games, I am almost more happy just meditating on the thought of them. In my minds eye I can recount much of the virtual space in TMNT, I can hum the theme song rendition in the game or the overworld music while I do it.
Yet it has taken me 48 hours just to get the games out and hook up the system, I have not even played them as of typing this. I feel the urge but the drive just isn't there. I think in the back of my mind that maybe its bcoming a little like walking down a familiar street just once more, but as I continue to have lapses inbetween going back and time slowly comes between me and the games I used to play I wonder if I won't feel the same way I felt upon visiting the street I grew up on in many years later. Aside from a few small changes in the way of some new street signs nothing had changed, but I had and the place no longer felt so comforting or close to me outside of memory.
