When the Super Nintendo Classic (also known as SNES Mini) was announced, I was skeptical. Although the original #Super Nintendo was one of my most-played consoles as a kid, I couldn't see a point in owning one outside of collector's value. It had some nice titles built-in like '#Super Mario World,' 'Donkey Kong Country,' and my personal favorite 'Yoshi's Island,' but these were also games that Nintendo offered as a Virtual Console title on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
Growing up, some of my best Christmas mornings were the years I got a new console. When I received the original PlayStation years ago, right away it could do things that my childhood self deemed amazing. It could play music CDs, had demo discs (which were a big deal to a child with no money,) and had shiny new 3D graphics. Here we are over ten years later, with the newest console in Sony's lineup, the #PlayStation 4.
“Four score and seven years ago …” Even if you can’t tell me where these six words come from, there is a good chance that you recognize them. But why? They do not offer wisdom or a witty saying; they are just numbers. In fact, you remember this phrase because of the music behind the words. The phrase falls into a simple rhythm, the iambic, which is often mimicked in poetry.
