I'm 39. While I'm not old enough for the original or SNES releases, I do remember N64 and on. Walking in the stores playing the games while mom shopped. Getting the nintendo power, game shark/game genie and all that.
Probably the best time to be a kid was mid to late 90s, I'd say. Playing all the different games and blowing on the NES/SNES games. Soon as I typed that, I swear I could taste that green pcb again.
The clutter was part of the fun as a kid. Hiding a good game in some dumb games case to stop them from playing. Blockbuster rentals on games was the shit as a kid. Thats pretty much Twitch's job now though or a free to play weekend. Go rent the game, figure out if its good or not, then actually buy it. Plus the game actually stored progress on them for nintendo and SNES, so if you rented one sometimes youd get someone elses progress too.
