It ail had to do with new technology in the home-game worid that has been around for the past couple of years buit something I had not been associated with. They cail it Nintendo. Just ask any kid and they wili tell you ail about it. Its the new game on the block, and as I understand in most homes. It made me forget aIl about birds and even the Christmas bird counit which were being held in a number of areas flot more than an hours drive from home. Four to five years ago when home computers were becoming ail the rage there was the introduction of computer games. To say the least they were tame, uninteresting com- pared to Nintendo and we wouid suppose this is only the beginning. However Nintendo kept brother John, David, Ronnie and myseif thoroughly entertained for six hours when at three a.m. Gwen said it was time to pack it f'or the night or morning, as the case was. But it was flot before tear- dropping iaughter had resounded throughout the house. The four of us were hooked on a game of golf, that is after an hour of reading instructions, trying to understand the gamne, and ail takin'g some practice swings. AIl the elements of the game on the real courses come into play and the four of us piayed no better than we do on the outdoor courses. You have to have control over your back swing, just when you should hit the bail with the push of the button for the third time and of course choosing the right club. You can top the bail in Nintendo %~s one would on the golf course to, r-,ave it but dribble a few feet in front of you. Andthe greens did,, have their particular roll which had to be played. Landing in the sand trap 1 found 1 was doing the saine as I would have out of the real course ... dub the baîl but a few inches. But under these circumstances Sam Sneed would have got under the baIl with a full swing of the sand wedge.. and it worked exactly the samne on Nintendo:" Why you can even play a slice or a hook on Nintendo. It's al realistic. Six hours I couldn't believe it, why one can play eighteen holes in less time than that. But that was not the end of Nîntendo l'Il have Gwen know. Travelling to Picton on Christmas day our grandson had gotten a pocket Nintendo and it was neyer left alone until the batteries went dead the next afternoon. Even Jamnie had a hard time getting ahold of it. 1 contend, with the one gane that went with the unit, seniors get a good score with 1200 and the kids must be over 5000 which they were getting. It was like puttingï round objects in round holes, rectangles in rectangular holes etc. In my defense the kids should be better in this. So much for the new technology. 1 can't knock it. It brought many laughs and there was a challenge. Fortunately we don't have one at home for this paper would neyer have been put to bcd. YES! Get the fiacts. 0O'ntaiqoMinistry of LJea1tfXIDS Hottine i -800'-668-AIDS Christian Corner 0 a a by Rev. Marg West Christmas is over, the turkey only a remembrance now as well-as pie, Christmas cake and ail the other goodies we consume, not to men- tion the presenits.' lt's hard to believe that there are many, many people who now are feeling very iow and some are even suicidai. It seems that we get ourselves so hyped up before Christmas that when ail the rush, excitement and relatives and'friends have passed, we now don't iknow what to do with ourselves. We now have time to be quiet and relax, but don't quite know how to do it. It seems some people have to have sorneone around ail the time. We apparently for one reason or another don't like to be alone. There is oniy one friend who wiil neyer leave us or forsake us and that's Jesus Christ. In John 15:15, Jesus is saying, "From here on 1 arn not caliing you servants (those who have asked Him into their lives) for servants do not know what the Master is doing, but 1 am calling your friends, for ail things 1 have heard of my Father (God) I have made known to you. " Proverbs 18:18, "If we have friends (or want friends) we must show ourseives friendly; and there is a friend who sticks to us dloser than, a brother." That friend is Jesus. So if you are feeling down, or suicidai, depressed or alone Jesus is the oniy answer to ail your needs,, hopes and expectations. l'd like to pray to, the Father in Jesus name that ail who feel this way would cali out to Jesus now. He cares for you and He will answer your hearts cry today. God Bless you ail as we look forward to a New Year with new hopes and desires. Comments or Questions? Write Box 179, Orono.
