I remember the excitement over me as I sat anxiously on my seventh birthday waiting to peel open the presents that sat in front of me. My heart raced as I freed the last gift from its paper cover to find a gray Nintendo game boy, although already a dated piece of technology at the time, this gift was particularly special to me as it was a hammy down from my uncle and also the first gaming system that I owned. I was captivated by it and spent most of my days playing old games like Zelda or Scooby…
