PHUKET: Having grown up in the 1980s and 1990s in a middle-class American suburb, much of my outlook on life was admittedly influenced, if not framed, by an ingenious team of Japanese programmers and script writers. Indeed, the original Nintendo Entertainment System (launched in the US in 1985) provided an invaluable framework for the formation and development of some of the critical cognitive reasoning and problem solving skills that continue to serve me well. While my dad in particular didn’t see such value in my childhood gaming obsession (this is the same dad who used to walk 10 miles to school in five feet of snow without any shoes – you know the one), I on the other hand will remain forever grateful for the life-long lessons that I gained from the hard-headed Italian brothers, Mario and Luigi.
