Posting anonymously. Many of us employees are frustrated because we work hard to generate revenue for our store and offer games at fair prices. However, we recently discovered that upper management earns bonuses by selling high-demand items online at inflated prices. As a result, we're no longer allowed to sell retro consoles, new consoles, or video games directly to in-store shoppers. This decision not only jeopardizes our jobs but also makes it harder for customers to find affordable gaming products locally.

Found an original SEGA power strip for $5 today. Not the kind of retro find ai was hoping for but I’ll take it!

Did your parents do this as well?

I've spent years looking for this picture in family albums and I finally found it. That's me (age 10) second from the left, in a 2XL shirt that Howard Phillips signed at the Nintendo World Championship in 1990. I was a Runner Up (3rd) in my age bracket at the Dallas Event in Fair Park. We were told to be on standby as an alternate for LA but no one ever contacted us. We ended up taking home a ton of Nintendo gear like a new Game Boy, a power pad that I gave to my neighbor as we already had one and some other goodies (I recall getting a Nintendo Power subscription for free which lasted for a few years before we moved).

Back then, we just got rid of everything so the shirt is gone (I wore that dress to school for bragging rights) but we lost the certificate almost immediately. I think there was just no concept of "saving" anything back then. All I have is this picture and of course the memory of playing.

Truth be told, that was the first time I had ever played Rad Racer (but played the shit out of Outrun which I thought was close enough) but I was a bit autistic with Tetris back then.

Did anyone else remember doing this as a kid?

The gf recently had to get the last of her stuff out of her childhood home. While going through her stuff we found her Grandpa’s old Gameboy that her and her brother used to play on car rides. Turns out, it had some soda kill the screen edges (see pics). Since I’ve never tried to repair one before, I watched a couple YouTube videos and tried it. Three hours later (I was super slow with the screen hole cutting), and IT LIVES!!!!

She’s already played about an hour’s worth of Tetris on it.

Never seen one b4 apparently it’s was sold for car shows n not general release

After playing a few rounds of A BOY and His Blob, I decided to pop in Paperboy for a quick play. I completed the entire week of deliveries and only had 2 days where I lost a single subscriber. My score was just over 74,000 points. Its not my first time finishing Paperboy, but its the first time I documented it with a photo.

been seeing a lot of people arguing recently the 3D Zeldas are the best. Do you think this is the best Zelda game? or is there another Zelda that is better than this one?

This was one of the three arcade consoles that were in the store
