    Thirty years ago my grandmother was carrying my 1987 nes down some stairs and her sock caught on a nail. She fell down the stairs, broke her hip, two fingers, a toe, shattered her left arm in 9 places around the elbow, suffered a concussion, and was in icu for two weeks, plus a trip later 500 miles north to the Mayo Clinic to get an extensive nuts bolts and plates surgery to save her arm from being amputated.

    The NES survived unbroken and still works to this day. Tecmo Super Bowl is still the best football game.

        Yes indeed. Grandma isn’t doing the best anymore, unfortunately, but she’s 92 now and still going.
