Gaming hardships

[glidedrxlr22]

When I was a freshman in college I had a little sh!tty 13 inch black and white tv. I had to play the great Final Fantasy IV on it. Not the best gaming experience, but if I wanted to play I had no other choice.

Another time I was desperate to have a new game. There's was nothing good out and I ended buying crappy Mystic Defender.

I like Mystic Defender…

Back in my youth, I didn't have much cash and would sell off games to afford new ones.

Now I'm older, and back around 1999 I started to collect games and rebuild my collection of games I once had. I sold off many games but never sold my consoles. Also I never sold off my Turbo Grafx/Duo and Sega Master games… I had a hard enough time getting them when they were new.

Not really a hardship, but more of a nuisance......I used to own at Atari 2600's Demon Attack. A game in the style of Phoenix/Galaga. As some of you know, the Atari didn't have a pause button. So I had to build many lives just to be able to go take a piss! I would make it back in the nick of time before all my lives were destroyed!

Had to play an Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 tournament last week(on the Nintendo DS) without blocking or running. (The L and R shoulder buttons suddenly crapped out on me the day before .) Got knocked out in the second round, sent my DS back to Nintendo the day after for repairs. Still waiting for it.
