256.0. "created a monster" by NERDS::BARRY () Tue Apr 18 1989 20:36

    I am a new Nintendo owner. I'm wondering if I have created a monster.
    I just read a note about a guy who had a five year old that HAD
    to have something. My kids play this for hours on sunny days and
    have no desire to go out because there is nothing as good as Nintendo
    outdoors. I do TRY to regulate it to 1 hour a day on a school night
    and of course when I enforce it I'm the meanest man in town. Unlike
    an interactive computer game, the player only reacts to what is
    going on and I DON'T FEEL THAT THERE IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE TAKING
    PLACE here. I would be intersted in what others feel on this matter.
    Am i making a mountain out of a molehill??y,

    Don't feel to bad about being the meanest man in town...I know the
    feeling.  I too limit the playing time on the NES.
