Recently, I've been getting into purchasing devices that allow you to interface old-school console games (NES and SNES, to be precise) with your PC, so I can back up and archive whatever save data I can from carts whose batteries haven't died yet.

This beautifully-drawn, intricately-detailed masterpiece tale was made in Mario Paint. God only knows when, but I'm going to guess that it must have been at around age 10 or so, considering that Mario Paint came out when I was 9.

The really tragic thing is that my drawing never really evolved beyond this level (I'll bet some of you thought this was a recent picture until you read the description), though I'd like to hope my storytelling and narrative structure have improved at least slightly.
