TABLE OF CONTENTS When my sisters and I were younger, we had an original Nintendo console and three games — "Duck Hunt," "World Class Track Meet" and "Super Mario Bros." We spent a lot of time at my mom's work, and we quickly mastered the first half of the first level of each game. You see, Mom had only one rule: if you fight over a toy, it goes in the closet. So, with three of us and only two game controllers, our aspirations of "winning the game" were always cut short. Since moving out,I've acquired a Play Station 2 and "Dance Dance Revolution,"but mastering the dances pales in comparison to half a track race on the Power Pad and the pinching matches that always followed. Becka Cremer, Associate Editor Marion Hixon's article has shown me that I am not alone. Vaughn Fry, among others, prefers the original to the recently released. So if you know where your New Kids on the Block tape is or you miss "Clarissa Explains It All," cruise to page 10 for a bodacious flashback.
