My Trials in Retro Game Challenge

Hey everyone! You’re not gonna BELIEVE what happened to me! I’m in big trouble! Last night I was playing Bikini Zombie Slay…er, I mean, I was playing Animal Crossing, yeah, Animal Crossing, and then all of a sudden, this giant floating head named Arino came on the screen! He sent me back in time to the 80’s and turned me into a little boy! And the only way I can get back to the present is to play a bunch of made-up 8-bit retro games and pass Arino’s challenges in them. I know that seems hard to believe, especially since you’re reading this blog now. What I did was handwrite this message back in the 80’s and mailed it to a friend in the future with instructions to post this on my blog when blogs get invented. I hope this works!

Goodnight Moon

This is one of my favorite children’s books … I remember the countless times reading it aloud to each of our kids, and occasionally to both of them together. It is a wonderful tale that combines consciousness of surroundings and simply saying goodnight to everything, something kids already want to do. Yet before we get too swept up in the whimsy, this is not about that great classic story – it is about me completing and sending away the recently released DS game Moon.
