Did american stores have big holes in glass doors in video game isles?
>>320899949
not that I know of. Usually just sealed behind glass back i think walmart still does that
Nope. Back when I was younger it was cheaper to just rent games for a week versus buying them. Also meant I had a small as fuck SNES library though.
Allowance picked up the games I knew were keeper when they were on sale.

Sometimes. Typically I had to find ways to make money to get my shit though. Sucked but probably for the best.
My dad plays games too so I just played what he played as a kid.
>>320899683
I had to beg for the few games they got me. I didn't realize until much later that I had played less games in my lifetime than most of /v/, my friends, co-workers, etc. I only had like 5-7 titles on each console.

Same. But I eventually made non-shit friends and managed to borrow a lot of stuff.
I can probably count the ones they bought.
X-Wing
Commander Keen
Duke Nukem
Quake
Quake 2
Quake 3 Arena
Half-Life
Super Mario World
The Legend of Zelda: Link To The Past
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 2
Crash Bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot 2
Twisted Metal
Spyro
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 9
Except for the Final Fantasy games, my dad bought all these games for him to play and my siblings played them too.
>>320899683
Of course they did. But it was always on birthdays, Christmas, or garage sales.
The first game I bought myself was Pokemon Emerald when it was new.
>>320899683
Only for Christmas and birthdays but we used to rent stuff pretty often which was a good way to try different stuff.
>>320899683
yeah
>>320899683
They bought a pc for me.
That's enough here.

I just wanted to play vidya. She gave me the same crap when I wanted Jurassic park rampage edition for Genesis and it had a 'mature' MA-13 rating.

shoplifting thread?
I stole Vanquish, Demon's Souls and Sonic Generations from some bargain bins a few years ago. I still feel bad from time to time.
>>320902896
I can't even count all the shit I stole. And I wasn't even poor.

Brb, tracing your IP by making a GUI interface and notifying your local authorities on behalf of the store.
>mom bought me vidya every few months and for christmas
>dad never did and would occasionally try to convince me to give them away
I'm convinced that he was jelly and took it out on me since my grandma told me that she would only buy him one gift per year when he lived with her.

I have some fond memories of my dad walking me to the local store to pick out Christmas and birthday vidya....
Bought Pokemon red one April afternoon after a rainstorm, Kirby's dream land 2 one summer evening after dinner....majoras mask a Sunday in November when we all went for a family walk as an early Christmas gift. I miss him....hes not dead, but we don't relate to anything anymore. The only thing he ever mentions when we talk is money, and both him and I have depression. I'm trying though. He's a sweet guy, but dense nonetheless. I'd kill to get back to that simplicity.
my mom was bro as fuck because my dad sucked and now i take care of her and treat her good
love my mommy :3
