It came out around my birthday, so my mom had it pre-ordered for me as a gift from Babbage’s. I still remember her picking me up from school and telling me she had a surprise for me in the trunk.

    I remember the hype I felt when they installed a demo unit at the store I worked at. Mario was mind-blowing and I bought one later that week. I had to hide the box is the stock room so it wouldn’t be gone by the end of the release week.

    My integrity isn’t perfect… I felt no guilt.

        I remember having discussions with friends in school marveling at Perfect Dark’s graphic quality. It and GoldenEye in 4 way split screen was so freaking fun. Donkey Kong 64 ran at like 12FPS at times and I didn’t even realize. Modern gaming is really spoiling us.
