Our 7 year old wasn't convinced about video games in the 80s.
"There was a whole MOVIE about the launch of Super Mario Brothers 3!"
Wasn't there? Or was that a fever dream? 😅
Yes. The Wizard (1989).
Watched the trailer to see if they wanted to watch it and wow. So 80s. And I decided not to let them watch the movie where an "emotionally withdrawn but gifted at playing video games"* boy and his brother run away for a video game competition.
* We didn't have autism in the 80s 🫠
