this reminds me of the time in the eighth grade when my girlfriend broke up with me and they didn't even need to rename the characters in a video game to recreate it. she has the same name as a tekken character and so do i. a bunch of us were together and one our mutual friends fired up tekken and said "oh look, this character has the same name as your ex, and look! here's you!" and she had me play the guy with my name and she played the character with my ex's name. it was the first time i had ever played tekken and she kicked my rear end, just brutally kicked my guy in the balls over and over again, and she was like "oh look, it's just like what happened to you last friday!" and i was trying so hard not to cry that i had to leave. i've still never played any version of tekken again to this day.

You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar But I Feel Like One Million Robux


Every time I went to Hollywood Video and I couldn't pick a game, whoever I was with, without fail, *really* wanted to leave kept trying to push me towards this specifically. I think they kept telling me it was "like pokemon" but even as a kid that wasn't my thing. Seeing this is usually when I'd go to the other side where the Xbox games were and look at the Shrek box before leaving with nothing.

My dad's a gamer and my mom never even attempted to rent or buy something on her own so I never got any bad games, but my dad would occasionally get me a game that was just too complicated for the age I was lol

I thought the cover for the SNES game based on the Sylvester Stallone movie "Cliffhanger" was the coolest thing I'd ever seen and finally got to rent it after hyping myself up for like a month and it was just a really lovely tie in beat em up. I didn't even know it was a movie game

you kind of had to play everything by ear because instead of instruction manuals blockbuster just had their janitors try to explain the game in one run-on sentence on the back of the cover slip. I forget who I stole this joke from. probably seanbaby

We had a front page article on bad video store manuals back in the day https://www.somethingawful.com/news/videogame-rental-instructions/1/

I wasted a lot of parental time going from video store to video store trying to find Jackal for NES, I had played it at a cousins house and liked it.

Did anyone ever come across those odd cartridges at a non-chain video store that let you pick from a menu of games and there were switches you had to flip on the pack for some games to work? I think one of them had Tecmo Bowl as an option, wonder where the store owner found that less than licensed Nintendo product.

The only joint that rented games in my town in the late 80-early 90s wasn't a chain operation, and they had some non-licensed games (Tengen Tetris and Master Chu & the Drunkard Hu most notably) but never the 100-in-1 carts, I've still never encountered one of those outside of rom dumps

film licenses often got very specific and weird about what game developers could or couldn't use

i remember one of the terminator games let them only use exactly one promo photo of arnie and required the devs to make you play kyle reese instead of sarah connor or the terminator

I loved quest 64 and was so excited to finish the school year because my parents said I could get it if I had a good report card. The local sellers even had it bundled with a lovely third party controller pack and I constantly told them what a good deal the whole thing was. Beat it with a friend at a sleepover, and he ended up liking it enough to buy it also.

Also had the blast corps rental issue where I couldn’t start a new game. I was so bummed cause I had watched it on video and arcade top 10 on ytv and it looked fuckin awesome.

My dad knew this guy at work who played games so he would ask about what was coming out to see if I would like anything. He would get me a list and then I would get him to ask the people at the video store every week if a certain game was coming out. I’m pretty sure I got him to ask about rogue squadron every week for half a year.

this same person gave my dad a copy of parasite eve that may have been stolen or something cause it was in those video store style cases and I pretended I wasn’t interested in the game specifically because I saw that tampons were an item and that made me uncomfortable at the time lol.
