Imagine your story but then the fucking game doesn't work when you first try to play it
that was christmas when I was like 9 or 10 and got my n64. super mario 64 was corrupted or some shit and wouldn't start up, and I ended up having to wait for close to a week to get another one
>Forgetting the rest of your weekend starter pack Shameful desu
Lucas Fisher
B-but the Angry Nintendo Nerd told me that this game was bad!
Brody Morris
It was with my own money and many years later since the last time I played the SNES game, but I'll never forget the first time I saw this opening screen, it told me right away that I was in front of one of the best games I will play in my life.
I loved, love, the SNES game to no end, and I had NO IDEA that they were making this one, I went to the stores only because I had some bucks saved and decided it was about time to play a new game, when I saw it I bought it at the moment and came back home running.
James Perry
What the fuck happened? Am I just jaded, or are yhe newer releases actually just filling out checklist s?
Lucas Collins
You aren't jaded, or at least not much, but the new games so suck big time.
I mean, room decoration?, a tabletop game?, yeah, can hardly be called Animal Crossing games, really.
I must have been 12 or 13 at the time. I had a tiny CRT TV in my bedroom and spent all summer vacation playing TP. I find it really sad I can no longer enjoy the first game I really played and beat on my own.

Those are spin-offs, not main games like City Folk or New Leaf.

Holy shit user, I thought my opinion of you couldn't be any lower.
>faded glass cases were used to prevent robbery >see DK64, I wanted it but couldn't have it >someone bought it and I never saw a copy of the game for sale >as soon as it came out I spent weeks watching MM on the shelf hoping to buy it >finally did because I did not get DK64 and had been asking for ages >get home and turn it on >all the excitement and rush >memory pak needed to play the game >check back on the box >it has an icon of it I couldn't see well because of the faded glass previously covering the case >DK64 came with a memory pak I eventually had to trade MM for starfox and another game that was cheap because I have literally never seen a memory expansion pak for sale anywhere. God played me a clever ruse. I got to play MM on an emulator but I still ended up buying the 3DS version right away.
When I first played halo 2 it was so incredibly magical and the amount of hours I put into 2 and 3 were so disgusting I dare not even think about it youtube.com/watch?v=KCSDeT6dPSU&t=39s
>Be me >Prob in 2nd grade >Save up all my pocket change/lunch money/chore money >See game with hero that looks like power ranger >Slap my money on the table with change and all >Go Home and slap this into gamecube >This plays youtube.com/watch?v=gNBI9aFN05w&index=1&list=PLEB91E661EA7AD4B6t I want to go back Back to the past
Holy fuck, you made me remember the best day of my young life user.
>It's the year KH gets released, 2001 or 2002, I can't remember >been saving all my change in a large ziploc bag >Brother who is eight years older than me asks if I want to go for a ride with him >Of course I want to go for a ride with my cool older brother >We end up talking about the new game we both want and decide to go and get it >We drive to th closest Wal-mart and he buys the game >I take my bag of loose change and but the Prima strategy guide so we can play better >On the way home, we stop by Taco Bell and buy two or three orders of those twelve pack soft tacos family meals >Get home and go to town on Kingdom Hearts and soft tacos for the rest of the day
There may be games I like better than KH, but there will never be another taco run.
