The year the Play Station came out I asked for one for Christmas.

So what does my mom do? She steals my NES and it's 32 games. Sells them at a pawn shop for next to free (ten bucks for the NES and a dollar for each game). Then for Christmas buys us a.... Super Nintendo. With 1 measly game.

We didn't want a Super Nintendo. We wanted a Play Station and certainly didn't want to get rid of our NES and it's 32 fucking awesome games we'd collected for it over the years.

Now all we had was a console from the previous generation and only one lousy game for it.

We never did get any more games for it because we didn't even want it in the first place.

We spent that entire year pretty much video game-less. It wasn't until the next Christmas she actually got me the Play Station.

When I think about how much that NES and all those games are currently worth it still makes my blood boil.
