you never rented games?

Renting games was so dope, holy shit. This is something our kids are definitely going to miss.

When you went to rent a game, there was a such a mix of feelings. You get to play an entirely new game. When you go to the movie store, there's literally hundreds of games, many of which you've never heard of and just choose based on the picture and the back of the box. Sometimes you want a specific game, but you get to the store and it's not there. Then, when you get the game, the countdown begins. You have 1 (or 2, or 3 or 7, depending on the store) days to maximize your experience with the game. It wasn't uncommon for me to get up at 5 AM and get downstairs to play a SNES rental, and then stay in front of the TV all day until 8 PM. Any time spent away for the TV was lost potential and reduced value from the rental.

Don't even get me started on the techniques like marking the cartridge so that when you re-rented it you could get the same save game.

I'm getting insanely nostalgic about this. Renting video games is such an amazing memory for me.

SNES was, without a doubt, the greatest console experience for me. Nothing else is even close.

Fuck man, video games were so amazing back in the day. I don't even think it's nostalgia - kids these days just don't play video games the same way we did back in the day.

hahaha qft.

I miss renting games so much! It got worse when playstation came around and people would ruin the cds.

But Renting games for Snes was the best thing ever. I used to get 5$ every friday to rent a game for the weeknd when I was a kid... Oh how I miss those days.

Oh man, I thought I was the only one who did that. Lol.

Unfortunately, most of the time the saves were erased by the time I went to rent it again -_-

Renting games is what made me the speed running machine I am today. When I play a game with friends and it's my turn, they usually criticise me that I'm not being thorough enough/I'm skipping too much stuff. BABY WE GOTTA BEAT THIS GAME BEFORE ITS DUE!

That's actually a really good point. I was more of a Genesis guy but I can't even tell you how many times I rented Bomberman or Rocket Knight Adventures or Chuck Rock. Renting games was boss as hell.

Guy who mentioned E.V.O. has my support, I love that game.

The big difference, IMO, is that we used to play games. Kids these days play interactive movies.

I am not saying this trying to be an elitist prick; thats just my personal feeling. I cannot stop seeing Final Fantasy VII as the beginning of the end of the old era.

I hated renting games. I hated getting something that would only be mine temporarily and feel this obligation to play it to the very core to get my money's worth. Getting a new game was exciting, sitting in the backseat, hands shaking, rejoicing silently with a smile as we whizzed past street lamps, giving me glimpses of the back cover images of the game. My father, anxious to equally get home so he can watch me play while he finishes some paperwork, happy that there is something to silence his boys so he can work as well as spend time with them doing something we all enjoy and yearned to sit in front of.

It was a bittersweet experience. When the game goes, your left with those old toys you no longer like and wish you could have that rented game back, but you know that buying it will only result in an enjoyment that was limited and worth only when you rented it and no longer since you already have achieved so much during your limited time.

Ah, yes, I miss the days of renting games at blockbuster. Back when the prices were reasonable, too. Man, they charge an arm and a leg to rent a game now.

Back in the day when there were no save points, I'd have to take a mental break for a few hours to make sure I was fully prepared for that next level. Whether it was sonic the hedgehog, vectorman, or x-men... No fuck ups allowed. The game must be completed.

I think there's something to be said about how the old medium of crappy graphics seemed to produce higher quality. Perhaps indeed developers were more interested in the game than they were in making a movie.

Or when Blockbuster would sell their surplus SNES rental games for cheap.

Like, hindsight 20/20, the 2000s feel a miserable hangover after the high of the 1990s.

Even sports games ruled.
