    Goat for the GTA cheat codes, sitting there punching in them codes just to get your money up or to get the good cars.

    But nah I ain't never leave my ps2 on all night. I had like 2-3 memory cards and when they got full I just used my lil brothers.

    Im proud to say I failed 7th grade cause of this ? . In 1993-1994 the only reason why I went to school was to trade and borrow games, read EGM and Game Pros and make fighting game move lists. I had a trapper keeper full of written down moves, magazine tearouts and drawings of RPG maps. My mom worked in a office so she photocopied game pages for me and i used to sell them at school to buy tapes or money to rent games on friday night. Friday night at blockbuster then>>>>the club now

    This issue right here was the equivalent of ? ? epidemic in my school and hood. I can recall in DVD detail ? fights, teachers getting cussed out and ? ganging up and snatching on whoever reading this issue like wolves. This is how 90% of people in world found about the first MK2 screenshots, moves and finishers. If you had this issue you were bigger than the plug. ? would kiss your ass, give you their lunch, follow you, be your bodyguard, do your work anything just to get a peek. I got tons of stories about this magazine. Great time to be alive then

    I had one memory card for the ps2...and I remember if I bought a new game I had to just delete stuff from it to make room or just yolo it.

    My parents used to come in my room when I was asleep and turn stuff off though...so it was always a risk leaving it on...maybe my progress will still be there when I wake up...maybe not.

    The memory card and extra pad didn't come bundled with the ? . 5 of us had one pad on the PS1 for months. Then it was either pad or card, a no brainer in a house of 7+ kids

    We were buying those thrid party controllers and memory cards.

    You remember those memory cards, with like 128 blocks of memory, them ? that would become corrupt in 3-4 months, and make you lose all your game saves.

    (actually, this was during the ps1 days)

    Lol this was totally me. My parents were cheap ? when i was growing up. Always bought me the cheapest game system bundle they could find. Got the PS2 3 years after it was released and didnt have a memory card for it for like 2 weeks. Would play GTA Vice City and Kingdom Hearts for forever but never turn it off cuz i couldnt save. Come home later, and the game would be frozen cuz the ps2 was on for too long lmao.

Gator In The Sewers...? Was Instant Death Cuz I Couldn't Figure The ? Out..I Finally Gave Up And Looked Online For The Walk Through...I "Copped" One From Some Lame In High School But Didn't Need Until The End.
