Another Mario game but this was one of the early ones, Super Mario Land for the Game Boy. I used to play this a lot at my cousins house but I could never never finish it. I have since grown up and played a lot of it but do I now love it?
This week, I am joined by Lyndsey Norris who has not been on the show for over 6 months which is a crime. She loved this game growing up but will I share her passion?
