What was my first ever video game?

My First Video Game Experience: Mario Bros on NES

Video games have been a significant part of many people’s lives, offering entertainment, challenges, and a sense of nostalgia. My introduction to the world of gaming began with the iconic Mario Bros on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). This game not only sparked my love for video games but also left an indelible mark on my childhood memories.

The Magic of Mario Bros

Released in 1983, Mario Bros was developed by Nintendo and quickly became a household name. The game featured the beloved characters Mario and Luigi, two Italian plumbers who navigate through various levels, defeating enemies and collecting coins. The simple yet engaging gameplay made it accessible to players of all ages.

Why Mario Bros Was Special

  1. Simple Mechanics: The controls were intuitive, with players only needing to master running and jumping. This simplicity allowed even the youngest gamers to pick up the controller and start playing without feeling overwhelmed.
  2. Cooperative Play: Mario Bros introduced the option for two players to join in, with one playing as Mario and the other as Luigi. This cooperative element fostered camaraderie and friendly competition among friends and family.
  3. Iconic Music and Graphics: The catchy theme music and colorful 8-bit graphics were groundbreaking at the time. The audio and visual elements of the game have become iconic, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the series.
  4. Endless Replayability: The increasing difficulty of the levels kept players coming back for more. Each level presented new challenges that required quick reflexes and strategic thinking.

Impact on Gaming Culture

Mario Bros on the NES was more than just a game; it was a cultural phenomenon. It helped to establish Nintendo as a leading force in the gaming industry and laid the groundwork for future Mario titles. The success of this game paved the way for the expansive Mario franchise, which continues to thrive to this day.

A Lasting Legacy

Playing Mario Bros on the NES was a formative experience that shaped my appreciation for video games. It taught me the joy of overcoming challenges, the excitement of discovery, and the value of cooperation. Looking back, it’s clear that this game was more than just pixels on a screen—it was the beginning of a lifelong passion.

    *THE MINISTRY OF WISDOM WISDOM TO DISCERN TRUTH FROM LIES (PART 4 THE FRUITS THAT EXPOSE EVERY LIAR)*

    You asked for it. This is where we stop praying against liars and start _recognizing_ them

    Jesus did not say pray to know them, He said by their fruits you shall know them Matthew 7:20 A liar can fast, can prophesy, can cry for you, but he cannot fake fruits for long. Time will always expose him

    Here are the 7 fruits that expose every liar, no matter how anointed he looks

    1. THE FRUIT OF INCONSISTENCY He says one thing today, another thing tomorrow
    A truthful man is consistent. A liar has to remember his lies. That is why today he loves you, tomorrow he hates you, without reason. _Proverbs 19:9 says, A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish._ Watch the inconsistency in his words, his stories don’t add up. Today he was in Lagos, tomorrow he says he never traveled. Take note.

    *2. THE FRUIT OF FLATTERY AND HURRY He praises you too much and rushes you too much.*
    A liar knows you love praise, so he uses it as bait. He will call you my destiny helper” after knowing you for 2 days. And then he will say do it now, now, now, or you will miss it. Why the hurry? Because wisdom needs time, but deception expires with time. _Proverbs 29:5 says, A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet._ Real love corrects you, fake love always claps for you.

    3. THE FRUIT OF SECRECY He hates light and accountability
    He will tell you, Don’t tell anybody, it’s just between us. He doesn’t want a second witness. He doesn’t want you to ask counsel. Every genuine thing from God can stand in the light. _Ephesians 5:11 says, Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them._ If he is afraid of verification, he is hiding fabrication

    *4. THE FRUIT OF GREED Money is always at the center of his story
    Listen, every conversation ends with money. Every vision ends with sow a seed or “bring capital You are not a son to him you are a sponsor. 1 Timothy 6:10 says, For the love of money is the root of all evil A true man helps you to grow, a liar helps himself to grow through you.

    *5. THE FRUIT OF NO PAST RECORD He has no traceable fruit, only mouth.*
    Ask him, who have you helped before? Who can testify of your past faithfulness? He gets angry. Because he has no history, only history of stories. _Luke 16:10 says, He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much._ If he failed in small, he will fail you in big.

    *6. THE FRUIT OF DRAMA AND BLAME Everybody betrayed him, everybody is wicked except him.*
    If every ex-boss is wicked, every ex-friend is evil, every ex-church hurt him the common denominator is him. A liar is always the victim. He never repents. Wise people take responsibility, foolish people transfer blame. _Proverbs 28:13 says, He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy._

    *7. THE FRUIT OF NO PEACE After talking to him, you lose your peace.*
    This is the ultimate test. Even if his words sound perfect, check your spirit after he leaves. Did your peace go? Did confusion enter? _James 3:17 wisdom from above is peaceable. 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion._ If you lose peace after every conversation with him God is not in that counsel. Your spirit is detecting what your ears cannot

    *HEAR ME:*

    From today, don’t just listen to what a man says, watch what his life says. Don’t just hear his promise, check his pattern. A man can fake his voice but he cannot fake his fruit for six months

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION OVER YOU

    I anoint your eyes today every hidden liar around your destiny is exposed!
    Your family will not be fed to wolves in sheep’s clothing
    Your business will not be sold to deceivers
    You will not marry a lie and call it love

    Father, in the name of Jesus, give Your people a discerning heart. As You gave Solomon, give us eyes to see, ears to hear and courage to disconnect from every lie that looks like love, in Jesus mighty name Amen
