My mother was convinced that things were worthless without all of their packaging intact. I wasn't even allowed to put the stickers on my Transformers because it destroyed the sticker sheets and ruined the toy.

I got over that conditioning over the years, but there's still some old stuff from my childhood clinging to its packaging. I bet the boxes to my NES and Super NIntendo are still in the huge sea of boxes in her basement.

Mom has a problem.

I had to sell my old consoles and games in order to buy the newer ones.

I wish I wasn't such a careless little piece of shit back when I was a kid and kept all the boxes and manuals for my NES and Super NES games.

>>3797368
Not really but I've always found it a convenient way to store things I'm not using.

I'm glad I never did that, I always kept my old consoles and just waited until the prices were really cheap. Shit I just picked up a Wii last year because it was like 16 bucks at the thrift shop and it's great, now that everyone has already figured out the best ways to mod it. My sister did sell our original SNES and my games too for weed back in the day but I got one back when they were still cheap.

Your mom was right, though. That shit is worth a goldmine these days.

I had a friend back in the day and his mom was the exact same way. Everything had to be put back into the original boxes and put back in the right place or you couldn't play with something else. She also would beat my friend for saying that the Nintendo cheated, sounds weird but yeah, he wasn't allowed to say the Nintendo cheated or she would run in from the other room and spank the shit outta him. Guess she figured it wasn't the Nintendo's fault if you sucked at a game so don't blame it.

That really activates my almonds. Now if only it would stop the bleeding from my prostate

Only did this once, I convinced myself it was a good idea to trade my GBC for credit after I got a GBA for my birthday. I think I used it to get Sonic Advance, so it wasn't a horrible trade considering backward compatibility, but I ended up missing my GBC and Pikachu carry bag later on.

>>3797757
It's only worth that if you intend to sell it.

Why the hell didn't this version have music? Still a great game though

Make sure you're in your mother's will.
Accidents happen.

That's some legit good parenting. These days, the kid would get a trophy for trying and be told that Nintendo needs to be publicly shamed.

The lack of music honestly only makes it better. Close games are much more gripping without that distracting song loop in the background.

Agreed. She raised a shithead for a child.

Being a dickhead. Seconds after I took that pic he squeezed himself into my gen box.

I found an original Sega Genesis controller, complete in box on Cragslist a few years ago.

I recycled the box.

Be careful he doesn't scratch it like mine did with my GameCube, Saturn and PS3 boxes.
