Mrs B took on the role of Player One for this one, since it was her purchase, and she popped the disk in. Luigi was many a Player Two's first love. I have therefore spent a good portion of time on both sides of the Player One/Player Two divide, but it was when Mrs B picked up Little Big Planet 3 for PS4 that I first stopped to consider how diminished an experience it can be when you're Player Two. I was the bringer of consoles to my marriage, so the natural order of things dictated that I would be Player One and Mrs Baines (or Mrs B, for short) would therefore be Player Two. The older sibling or the one who 'owned' the console was Player One, and the younger sibling was, invariably, Player Two.įast forward nearly thirty years and, in a rare case of social mobility, I now find myself as Player One. I was happy enough with my lot and, talking to friends, it seemed like similar unspoken arrangements had settled into their households. I was always Luigi to her Mario, Bob to her Bub, or Dale to her Chip. 3, Bubble Bobble, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers it didn't matter what the game was. That pattern followed through subsequent games. The first game we played, as is true for most people, was the original Super Mario Bros.īecause that little grey box of wonder belonged to my sister and I am the younger sibling, the natural order shook things out almost immediately: she was Player One and I was Player Two. Somewhere around 1990 my sister, nearly four years my senior, received a NES as a gift.
