    Traded MvC2 for a game shark

    Wanted to go buy it at Gamestop like a year later because I missed it and couldn't get that game anywhere. ? was like the holy grail.

    I remember I told the clerks how I got rid of it and they were literally flabbergasted.
    I think one of them fainted lol
    I ain't know that game was gonna be like Atlantis and ?

    I did the same thing. Cant even remember which game I traded it for.

    Back in the PS1 days I traded my copy of Tomb Raider II for MK Mythologies: Sub Zero.

    Traded it with a dude that rode the same bus home as me. That weak ass wack ass Sub Zero burned my soul for months after.

    Spending money on steam sales. Get goat games for like $3 but bought so many that there's no way I can actually play them all. They got me.

    I did something similar on Vita with PS classics.

    I've also done it with books on my Kindle.

    Leaving behind a box of 3 consoles and probably a total of 200 games behind after I moved.

    Never went back for them and they were tossed out in the trash.

    Sega Master System - 150 games

    Sega Genesis - 25 games

    N64 - 20 games

    In the same vein, I always give away my systems and games to less fortunate people when I upgrade. If some of those people know anything about Ebay, they are probably living good right now because I have had more than a few games that go for big time money these days.

    You must've known something about Pokemon because you picked a blue Pokemon on a game that's displayed in green and black.

    That's true, but the grass starter is always the wackest of the 3 and least useful near the end of the game.

    My biggest regret is not keeping my old systems whenever I got a new one. I have all kinds of PS1/PS2 and Genesis games at the crib that I can't play. I have extra sticks and memory cards that I can't even use smh.

    If you have SNES/Genesis and earlier you need this..

    I have one. The contacts and build quality is ? . Stop using it because the contacts in the cartridge slots are tight as ? . Seriously think it would ruin my snes carts if used over time.

    Buy a wii or a android tv box instead and emulate if you wanna play classic games on your HDTV.

    Yeah so uh chalk the retron 5 up as another gaming regret.

    After so many years, you were just buying updated rosters, especially with newer games. They can only change them so much lol.
