I myself wanted one of those remote controlled air planes. I thought that’s the coolest thing ever. Once I grew up and had the money, I never bought it.

    I wanted a Sega Genesis for Christmas one year but I already had a Super Nintendo that I played all the time and my parents didn’t want to pay for another console. When I was in highschool, a used game store opened in my town. Back then game collecting was a lot cheaper than it is now, so I was able to get a Genesis for like $30 and I enjoyed it.

      I have the exact mirror story to yours.

      The used SNES that I bought absolutely lived up to the hype, and beyond. Both those systems are fantastic, and I’m glad I took the effort to explore the games I didn’t have access to as a kid.
