Dickie Bird
In the world of cricket, where players like Geoffrey Boycott become legends for their batting prowess, it is a rare individual who achieves iconic status without ever wielding a bat.

More than just an umpire, Bird became a cherished symbol of the sport itself—a character of immense integrity, warmth, and eccentricity whose name is synonymous with a golden era of cricket.

The Very First Game I've Ever Played
Earlier this month, one of my favorite NES games recently turned 40. That game was Super Mario Bros. At the time of its release in 1985, funny enough, 40 million copies of the classic game were sold. These don't include ports and re-releases. I was born two years and a month after it came out. Yes, I'm showing my age here a bit. I was lucky and fortunate to be born in one of the best decades. Picture this: it's New Year's Eve 1989 and just for context, it was also my now estranged father's birthday. At the time, I was a two-year-old who discovered video games for the first time. Seeing my father's NES made me curious and popped Super Mario Bros. inside the game console. For the new generation, the NES games we played came in cartridges. To make sure the game worked properly, you would have to blow inside the cartridge a few times, pop it in the console, and hopefully it'll work.

40 Years of Super Mario - Part 1: The 1980s
It’s September 2025 and Super Mario is forty years old. The first game in the series, the legendary Super Mario Bros. was released for the Famicom on 13th September 1985, one of the first games for Nintendo’s earliest true home console. It wouldn’t arrive on the Nintendo Entertainment System – the western version of the Famicom – until the following year in North America, as a launch title for the system, and not in PAL regions such as the UK and Europe until 1987. Regardless, the game was instrumental in revitalising the American video games market, which had suffered an almost lethal crash in 1983 due to a glut of low quality systems and games.
