We were VERY well acquainted with late fees from our local Blockbuster when I was little. There are still games in the house we never returned, LOL.

Looking back, the old Street Fighter games were pretty brutal. The pace at which the series evolved in the 90's was crazy; stuff like Street Fighter III, the Marvel Vs. series and the Alpha games were radical departures from the original, and those came out just a few years later.
Yet the main appeal for Street Fighter 4 was how it hearkened back to SF2 in terms of playstyle. Funny, that.

Man, Mode 7 and the FX chip were some crazy shit back in the day. And you got an SNES two weeks early? So lucky...
Are any of your old Dalls Morning News reviews around online? I'd love to read them.

W...why are you selling your Dreamcast games? D:
Final Fantasy X was one of the best games on the PS2, and remains one my all time favorite titles. Mario 64 was a real revelation as well; games with 3D graphics were never the same after that.
You got an NES at launch with your wife? That is O.G. status. My big brother was in elementary school when it came out, LOL.

Me and my brother played the hell out of Toshinden too...until we got Tekken. :p
And I LOVED going to Sears to look at game stuff back in the 90's. It's a shame they've cut back on that so much now.

The N64 was truly a standard bearer in many ways when it came to how 3D games were controlled. I can't imagine using a controller without analog sticks or rumble functionality now.

Regardless of what the company's say about media functionality and the like, people are buying these consoles for games first and foremost. They are WAY too expensive to be treated primarily as media boxes and will stay that way for the next several years.

It's amazing how much the cost of ownership for these consoles has gone up in just a decade or so. Back in the early '00s, you could've bought multiple consoles for the price of one Xbox One. Now it's a serious investment over time, both because of the higher price tag and the rise of paid online subscriptions andf the like. It's made the decision much more weighty.
