I remember shuffling through newspapers every Sunday for these ads.

That moment you can cop a N64....only to spend damn near 70 dollars on the games

The N64 was a good system, but Nintendo really messed up by sticking with cartridges. CDs were the way to go. The PSX was a much better value. I could get multiple games at one time, with n64 I could only get a game once or twice per year.

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

I would argue, Yes.

149 for a videogame system

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 were 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.

Do the Holiday 1999 Toys R Us one. With the SEGA Dreamcast n all.

But still, 1998 is Legendary-tier with Legend of Zelda: OoT and Metal Gear Solid

Don’t forget REsident Evil 2 and Twisted Metal 2

I got my PlayStation in Christmas 97. I didn’t even ask for it. Talk about pleasantly surprised.
