First One's Free
Having played Super Mario 1-3, Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, et. al. on a Super Nintendo emulator on our Mac, of course Max has found friends at school who like Mario too, and who have Nintendo GameCube's with Mario Kart DoubleDash and other Mario games. Of course Max is now asking for a GameCube too. The good news is that Nintendo is about to obsolete the GameCube by introducing their next generation system, the goofily named, "Nintendo Wii". I suppose then we might be able to pick up a used GameCube and games for cheap. Or maybe I should just tell him we aren't getting one, and leave it at that. I've got some aces up my sleeve - I haven't yet let him have access to another Mario game, Super Mario World 2, that was made for the Super Nintendo. Also there is a super nintendo mouse-based puzzle game that was only released in Japan, but is in English, called Mario and Wario.

This brings up a good point - BCPL's online catalog leaves something to be desired. I tried to get a list of all the video games the library had, but this was essentially impossible to do. You have to first do a search on everything - there is no option to browse by category at all - and only then can you narrow your search by type of item, but it isn't obvious how to do it. Moreover, the resulting list proved to be quite incomplete. I know this because I did a second search and found three versions of a particular game (GameCube, Playstation 2 and Xbox), only one of which was found with the previous search. Hmm. However, if they are offering the games for free instead of charging, then I ought not to complain. We don't have any of those game systems, but I can appreciate it in principal. Now, how about making DVD borrowing free too?
I know what a Mario is... but what is a Wario??? :)
Wario is another Mario Bros. character.
