when I was six we got our hands on a NES. At the time we had little access to games. Mario 1 & 3, RBI baseball, Duck Hunt, that was about it. Still we loved them. Me and my brother blowing hours on them while my mom would later nostalgically remember how in the original Duck Hunt you could shoot the dog, and we'd envy that. Still we were casual, even Mario Bros 3 can only be replayed so much.

Then we got a sega and SNES, which in itself was more of the same. But we discovered something, you could RENT video games now for like, 3 bucks. Now we didn't have alot of money, and games were short, so about once a week we'd get a game or two and that would be our entertainment for the weekend. For an eight year old with a free weekend that was more then enough time to beat most of them. We played so many games we started running out of things we hadn't already beaten. Thats when me and my brother got our gamer status and got every console since then.

Oh the days when finding good games was dumb luck. It was like going to the dog track. You have no idea what you are placing your bets on, you just pick one that looks good and hope for the best
