You will not be disappointed. Enjoy!
If you have kids, say a son roughly 12-16 years old it’s a great bonding experience!

i like their program where they make older games Legally playable(IIRC Steam used to do the same?).
The big difference between Steam and GOG here is Steam will happily host older games but doesn’t seek them out. GOG actively seeks out older games that aren’t published anymore and tries to get the right to distribute them, and patches them in various ways for modern hardware.

I don’t disagree with your main point, but I think the Mario sprite thing is just as easily explained by technical limitations as artistic ones.

Warning: my music nerd’s about to come out.
I’m in my 40s, and have been playing music since single digits. I still remember the order of lines in the staffs with “Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge”, “FACE”, “Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always”, and “All Cows Eat Grass”. I did teach my kids “Good Burritos Don’t Fall Apart”, though, since they seem to like burritos.
My internal math nerd agrees with the grandparent though, for some reason I just remembered the order of operations and was confused when my kids came home with PEDMAS. But to be fair, I use the order of operations every day at work, so 🤷. I’m also one of those people who will insist on using parentheses everywhere there’s more than two terms, though, so take from that what you will.

I am now saving this picture, and spreading it as far and wide as I can.
And I will never, never, never translate it into English.
- Comment on Reality vs Fantasy 8 months ago:
Sometimes you get article transfer as well. The English word “apron” comes from the obsolete “napron”, in turn from Old French “napperon”.
People heard “a napron”, which became “an apron”, which eventually led to the main word being “apron”.
