I was standing in front of my Retro-ology class discussing with them the world of retro gaming. Speaking of things that inspired today's games, viewing how older values and messages have been passed on to the new when suddenly Professor Tradeame interrupted my class with a message from the world wide web. Wonderful technology that.

Professor Tradeame advised me that there had been some rumblings at his site of some retro technology. Of course, myself being invested in this, I thought I had better check it out.

That, and he reassured me there would be no random German soldiers attacking me out of nowhere, unless I count those who would battle me for these artifacts...though we have yet to establish if they had been Germans or not.

I had started upon my journey to obtain these items. One, the Super Nintendo was simple enough. Though I ran into some minor trouble, I had retrieved said item.

Then my adventure continued onward to the next item...though it was held at the same location I would be retrieving the SNES from, I ran into a battle akin to my time I fought a Scimitar wielding man who at first I feared;

but then took down after I realised I was carrying a pistol.

I battled fearlessly, throwing all I could into the fight. Heart pumping. Adrenaline racing.

WIN.

I had obtained the item known as the Nintendo 64 with what some have dubbed cartridges. Small blocks that when inserted bring it to life, flashing color and sounds that some say our ancestors experienced...or something our older cousins had.

There was a third item. But it had been hidden away from the eyes of the world. I had to investigate and make an offer to the Guardians of this and the other 2 items. I made my offering and was contacted and told of the details of where I may find these artifacts.

Like I had said, these items were held at a location. I had found clues to said location through an ancient secret named Google Maps.

It pointed me north, towards an area known as the Shore. As I wandered this area, using Google Maps, I happened upon the shrine of the artifacts. I stepped out of my vehicular machine with leading lady in tow. I checked my inventory to ensure that I had my offering.

CHECK.

I wandered down towards the shrine, wary of any ancient traps.

But there were none. I had already won the battle, and thus completed my adventure. I had obtained my treasure.

At first, it didn't seem like much:

But then, as I investigated I could see this Guardian had thanked me for the journey I had made:

I cleaned the past off the artifacts, readying them for their new home:

And I displayed them along with the items of which some have said they are derived from:

The artifacts were safe. But like any good ending setting up for a sequel to make more money, my collection had only just begun....
