I'm almost 40 years old, and I have finally, for the first time ever, beaten Super Mario Bros. on the NES. I did use save states, because I make a lot of stupid mistakes in 2D platformers, and dying due to Mario being floaty was something that always put me off playing through multiple game overs to get to the end.
In a way I think having save states and emulators makes older games more accessible, especially for those of us who only have short play sessions available, or need special controller configurations in order to play. I'm super grateful to have those options available to me these days.

Do you miss playing Xbox Live on the 'original' Xbox?
Well then make sure you follow @insignia to view the games they are adding on a regular basis that supports their free service, allowing you to again play these games online. This is a new service so there is still plenty to be added, but it's been great fun so far.
More information can be found here...

Well the dream is real!
Xbox Live on the original Xbox is indeed back with @insignia, with my first experience on Midtown Madness 3 in what must be around 15 years. Ran really well.

I never thought I would see the day when I can connect my original Xbox to... Xbox Live! A service that shut down in April 2010 for the first generation Xbox console.
Thanks to @insignia, I can connect to their free Xbox Live service specifically for original Xbox games from nearly 20 years ago.
Now where did I place my original Midtown Madness 3 disc???
Fun times are coming, with a massive dose of online gaming nostalgia.
