The screen flickers, then lights up with a new game. It’s different from yesterday’s. Today, it’s a big castle on a hill, surrounded by moats and towers. A knight in armor stands at the gate, holding a sword. The screen is bright and colorful, but not too shiny. I can hear the chimes and the sound of water bubbling nearby.

I press start, and the knight moves to the left. I wiggle my finger on the controller, trying to make him go right. It takes some practice to figure out which direction to push. Finally, the knight turns around just in time to face a giant dragon coming from behind the castle walls. The dragon spits fire! The screen lights up with red and orange flames, and I hear a big pop and hiss as they hit the wall.

The game is tricky but fun. I can’t wait to see what happens next when I get another chance to play it.
