Blockbuster was the GOAT shyt from 92-2000. Rented countless Genesis/SNES/PS1/N64 and even Dreamcast games. :to:

This is terrible because... I have Netflix yeah and the selection is good but it's limited. You can't just stream anything. RedBox has shyt for older movies.
not only that, but going to the video store with your cousins/friends was fun as hell. we would spend like 30-45 minutes erry time perusing all the games and movies.

Saving up your break money so you could rent a game on Friday night. :gladbron:

Coming in to see that the game you wanted was still checked out. :sadbron:

Picking up a game you're uncertain about but grabbed because there was nothing else, only to get home and it becomes one of your favorite games of all time. (Chrono Cross & Mass Effect :to:)

That night when your mother said you could rent two games and get candy at the checkout :ahh:


Seems like yesterday. :wow:
