But damn, it was worth it. I fucking watched that movie at least 100 times as a retarded little kid. I remember I got my VHS version for christmas and had to wait for my cousin to finish watching Mulan before i could pop in Sonic. It was the longest hour and a half of my life at that point.

I have a very faint memory that my grandma took the last piece without realizing I didn't get one yet. Like, she was apologizing to make me feel better.
Or, that's what I chose to believe all these years.

>>2958516

No, it was that realistic kinda early 16 bit style,
so like Gods and Defender of the Crown and stuff.

Then again its been many years, but I do remember it being quite detailed. (most ST stuff was)

>Try to get out of the situation by slamming the door in his face.
>He sticks his shoe in the door stopping my attempt and begins to force his way in.
>He's too strong, or perhaps i'm too weak either way this is a farce.

That's about it, nothing else happened. There's no silver lining. I just nearly got fucked up by a psycho kid but managed to fight my way out.

Epilogue of sorts.

The freakiest thing about this whole thing is I or my mom NEVER told anyone where we lived.
The only people who knew were school staff.
And I never had anyone over at my house before, I went to theres.

So that means this fucking kid followed me home in an attempt to murder me.
He had to have followed me then waited for my mom to leave then made his move, thank whatever fucking deity is out there I had the wits to get out of it.

Seriously I hope this kid got some help or something.

Same thing happened to me but in my case it was because I caused a wipe by knocking into the snes on the ground so he couldn't play. Which then made him push me out the bedroom.

I know this is a joke, but getting a new console for Christmas and knowing you can play it all week before having to go back to school are some of the comfiest memories of my entire childhood.
Can anything in the adult world match that feeling? I think not.

Agreed. I have very found memories of getting a gameboy advance on Christmas day. I think I was about 9 or 10 at the time.

Of course, I still have some fond memories of my brother and I waiting to open our gifts early in the morning.

>Holy shit it's Christmas, and I'm 7-8.
>Free gifts, delicious food, and vidya and tobogganing.
>The thing pretentious memoirs are made of.
>Well technically it's Christmas morning.
>Early Christmas morning.
>Despite trying my best to stay awake and catch Santa in the act, I fell asleep, clutching a homemade initialed stocking.
>Also despite clutching it, Santa somehow filled it up with gifts without waking me up.
>Clever bastard.
>Older brother (who normally sleeps in his own room, but sleeps on my top bunk during Xmas) is quickly opening his stocking stuffers and eating the candy that came with it.
>I follow suit, and am overjoyed when I find one of those dancing hamster toys in mine
>To pass the time, we turn on the N64 in my room
>Of all the games to play, my brother chooses Mario Golf, much to my dismay.
>He was going through a golfing phase I suppose.
>I genuinely do not enjoy the game.
>But that doesn't stop me from having fun.
>Each time, before he's about to hit the ball, I activate the dancing hamster, which proceeds to belt out a very compressed version of the song "Bad Boys"
>And each time, it fucks up my brother's swing.
>This goes on for some time, before my brother eventually just gives up.

But yes, many a comfy memory I have of those days. Hell I've got a lot of comfy vidya memories, but I always feel on the fence about them. I guess people feel that memories involving electronic activities aren't "worth" as much as more traditional memories are. Makes me feel slightly guilty from time to time but, doesn't detract from the enjoyment I felt back then.

>>2973998

Also, going over your cousin's house during the holidays, especially if he had a different system than you, and knowing you could all barricade yourself in the bedroom for hours on end playing exotic vidya while the grown-ups had cocktails and uncomfortable conversations downstairs.

This reminds me of "ultimate dodgeball" in high school. It's dodgeball but without teams or boundaries.

The thing is all of the athletic kids were buddies. So they would take out the rest of the class in a few minutes and we would have to watch them play for another 10.

Mario is Missing would have probably been a problem, since I only had a PAL system, however not long after that I started using NTSC to PAL adapters to play imported JRPGs. Some guy in a town close to where I live sold these adapters, even kinda coaxed my dad and me into buying a Japanese Mega Drive + Japanese Mega CD because So
nic was faster on it and GOTTAGOFAST. I did like the few games I bought, tho. For American JRPGs I just mail ordered them from another importer on the other side of the country. Man, I was hardcore as a middle schooler, nothing could get between me and muh JRPGs.

Not really a greentext but I'm happy that my family was never retarded to say I couldn't play games or some shit like this. My father didn't like it but I could play it anyway. My mom watched me playing RE1 everytime.

Plus no "you can't watch Yu-Gi-Oh! because is satanic!!". Luckily my family was never religious (I mean they were into spiritism but it was never a problem to me).
