Back when I was a young teen I never played video games alone. It was a social thing. There was more than the game, there were the good times and comraderie. I've been missing the old Zelda series - what was the first one with Link again? But I know it won't be the same. I'm an old man of 25 now, world-weary and storm-torn, as it were. I don't think I'll ever again experience the magical feeling that nostalgia pushes me to crave. I have to make do with what I have now - which involves playing Age of Wonders with my wife and beginning my 2-year-old son's slow induciton into tabletop and computer gaming. At worst, I can experience the magic vicariously through his discoveries. Crap, I'm waxing sentimental again. Somebody slap me. I'm supposed to be editing.</blockquote>
