Probably one of the best games on the NES is Super Mario Bros.  Even though this game came out years before I was born, I spent endless hours trying to speedrun all the levels, trying to collect all the coins that I could find, and that sense of accomplishment when you finally found Princess Toadstool, AKA Peach. Super Mario Bros. always had me coming back to it, trying to relearn my skills at the game. I played it until I finally lost it. Of course, I had my other Mario Bros games, but I was missing the original after years of years of playing the side-scrolling games. I wanted to relive it, and I didn't want to download an emulator for it. I wanted an actual copy of the game. I probably shouldn't have been so desperate.
 
I was walking down the street when I noticed a dark grey cartridge on a garage sale desk.  I stopped in my tracks.  Before I knew it, I was two dollars poorer, and I had the game, 'Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt' in my hand. I put it in my back pocket, and walked home again. Once there, I set up my parents' NES, popped the game in, and got ready for a nostalgia trip. For some reason, it skipped the choice selection screen and went straight to Mario Bros, which was okay, since that was the only reason I got the game.  The game played fine, until the first castle.  
 
When I hit the axe and Bowser fell into lava, the cutscene triggered, and in the chamber that the Toad says, "Our princess is in another castle." the toad wasn't there.  
 
The text still popped up though, but it seemed it was doubled, like two text boxes appearing at once.
 
In world 2, the textures started to smear, making it hard to see what was in front of Mario. With hardship, I completed the five levels and moved on to the castle. The texture smearing was the worst here. Sometimes, Mario would suddenly shrink or die, the game thinking that he was colliding with an enemy. I managed to run to the room with Bowser, but he wasn't there for some reason.  
 
I ran to the axe, and in the cutscene where you meet toad again, the text was unreadable. Two textboxes were displaying at the same time. A few seconds later, the splash screen for world 3-1 came up, but didn't provide any information but my health was at zero, even though my health was at five in the previous area.
Line 31:
Finally, with a crack out of the speakers, my head popped off. Right after, the screen cut to black with a line of text saying:
 
"That's what you get, for destroying my kin."  
 
The two words, 'Too Late' were fading onto the screen, the font looking like it was written in blood, disturbing music playing in the background with murmuring in the foreign language, violins tremoloing, rising in the chromatic scale. I ran to the system and turned it off. As I looked into the reflection of the screen, I saw a man, supposedly behind me. I looked, and no one was there. It must've been my imagination.
