[#1 pick]

SWIPE

I had this catalog as a kid. Hyped like a mfer when I got it. N64 and Saturn games.

 

[Methodical]

I remember this very well.

I wanted that Nintendo 64 and there was a world wide shortage on those things.

My mom and dad told me I might have to settle for a PlayStation, so I was like cool. I was a teenager at this time so I wasn’t tripping. I was just thankful for what I was getting.

I get up Christmas morning and we opening gifts and I open my last gift and have no PlayStation or N64.

I was like well I guess I didn’t get neither. A few minutes went by and my mom told me to check the laundry room. Sitting there in the laundry room was a brand new N64 in a very nice gift bag with an extra controller and several games I wanted.

She told me later the only reason her my dad was able to get it is I put my name on a waiting list at GameStop and they just so happened to call them and tell them they were holding one for me.

I was prepared to hear your heartbeat ending but got a happy ending instead.

at your parents.

 

[Methodical]

They forgot Jenny Jones and Ricki Lake

Forgot to mention Sally too

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Yeah, you tripping, trolling, or are just being slow,

Nah, back in the day when most TVs weren't even HD, N64 was the better party console.

• Mario Kart 64
• Perfect Dark
  
• Super Mario 64
  
• Ocarina of Time
  
• Super Smash Bros.
• Star Fox 64
• Pokemon Stadium
• Mario Party 1-3
• GoldenEye 007

Playstation wasn't on Nintendo's level til PS2 dropped and killed GameCube.

You trippin . Playstation was deep with games and they had classics on deck

Crash Bandicoot
Spyro
Resident Evil
Final Fantasy
Gran Turismo
Metal Gear Solid
Twisted Metal
Oddworld
MediEvil
Tomb Raider
Tekken
Parappa The Rapper

Plus the PSX was way better when it came to sports titles

 

[VegetasHairline]

This was when games came with instruction manuals too!

 

[Monoblock]

yoooo EastBay

me and friends used to plot on what new shoes and outfits we was going to get outta them EastBay books


Cant forget about

Prima video game guides, GameFan, EM3, Tips and Tricks, and GamePro......

Yoooooo I remember we use to go to magazine stands just to look for codes and tips/moves to play video games. Tear the sheets out of the magazine, stuff them in your pocket and hit the arcade or game system and punish boys. Kids have no idea or the joy of rippin a nikka spine out for the first time with other kids yelling..

Wasn't no net back then nikka had to get it how you lived out in these streets to punish cats putting they quarter on the screen hollerin about next.

 

[Lord_nikon]

it was a tan color boy, I’m guessing it was the darkest they had. Now that I’m looking at the box , it looks like it was geared for little boys

I guess Tan is Approved

 

[Jermio]

We're the 90s the best Era to grow up in?

For a kid, yeah. shyt was ridiculous if you had a semi-functional home life.

 

[ORDER_66]

Nintendo fukked up by not taking that deal!!!

anything less was uncivilized lol...

til they caught on and started shipping them shyts in the plastic casing, usually in particular zip codes


went from

Writing down all the useful codes on a sheet of notebook paper

then graduated to ripping out pages

then I said fukk it and put them shyts on the bottom of the grocery cart under the a case of beer or soda, and they never thought to look as long as they saw us grab something from the bottom they wouldnt bother checkin

I grew up outside which is why I can’t stand to be inside now. there was only a few people in the neighborhood that had the game system so it forced you to make friends

or you just needed someone to play your super soakers with

 

[xiceman191]

Man all the shyt you unlock by putting in as codes is now sold as dlc.
