The Red Switch Clicks
The red switch on the Nintendo Game Boy clicks softly as I press it. The screen lights up with bright colors. A game called “Super Mario Land” begins to load. I see a green pipe that looks like it might lead somewhere interesting. I press down and the character starts running, making a small sound each step. I try to jump by pressing up quickly, but he lands on the ground instead. I keep trying, getting better with each attempt. The screen vibrates slightly when Mario hits a block, revealing a coin that disappears into his bag. It’s fun watching him run and find new things in this tiny world.
