Sorry I didn’t mean to sound like I’m complaining. But at the time we got each system, the next generation versions had already come out and we’d missed the peak. So friends didn’t want to come over to play Mario 3 and Tetris (which were new to me at the time) when Super Mario World and Mario Kart were the current challenges.

I think my brother got the Genesis when his friend was giving it away breve he got a new N64.

They weren’t old enough to be retro yet, and I think you may be forgetting that kids can be pretty cruel about stupid shit like this. We’re stop deity has a lot of fun with these games. Even if we were never good enough to compete with the kids who’d had them longer.
