Hate to be that guy, but the PlayStation 2 didn’t come out until 1912.
“I thought you weren’t going to fact check us.”
none of these games are good
Your taste is bad and you should feel bad.
On the last page, you’ll find an installation CD for Windows XP Service Pack 2 and the activation code written in sharpie. There’s another CD for a cracked install of Macromedia Fireworks. Both are Memorex CD-R.

omg. it’s the cd key equivalent of my icq number
Most people I know who had ICQ remember their number. Given that most people aren’t great at remembering numbers, that’s always surprising to me.
This is probably obvious to everyone but me, but I didn’t know it was supposed to be “I seek you” until my brother explained it to our family.
91369100
I’ll never forget it.
41717439 for me.
If if were still around, we could be friends, though obviously I’m older than you!
Goddamnit
A Nero burning room and a bunch of codec installers for quicktime, realmedia and all the usual gang.
She’s impressed they’re actually official discs and not burned copies, but she’s also questioning why you’re so rich you have all these originals but can’t afford to dress yourself except as a homeless person.
Probably collected before the used games market got taken over by speculators driving the prices up insanely.
We didn’t know how good we had it before 2015 or so.
I have easily a few thousand dollars worth of retro games (I check the going rates of my collection now and then with pricecharting.com), and I rarely paid more than $20 a piece for any game I bought used.
Which reminds me that I need to check some of the SNES cart internals to confirm they’re legit, because some of those deals were a bit too good to be true even back then. Super Metroid for $20? Guessing it’s a bootleg.
And that also reopens the old scar of an ex who made off with all of my N64 (multiple complete in boxes), Genesis, and GameGear stuff along with some of my GameBoy and Gamecube collection. Fuck.
Don’t lend large swaths of your shit to someone all at once.
I had an amazing collection of Dreamcast games. I paid squat for them. Nobody wanted them and I got them all for next to nothing at a local game shop. Games that are very rare today, I paid like 6 bucks for.
My best friend and I played regularly when we were roommates in the mid 2000s.
He got married and moved out. One day he said, “Hey bro, can I borrow your Dreamcast and games so I can play them and bond with my stepson?” “Sure man, just take care of them.”
I heard from a mutual friend that he moved so I called him and asked him about my Dreamcast. “Oh I’m sorry bro, it got left at the old place and I have no idea what happened to it.”
I still randomly have a desire to go to his house and ask him to show me something he takes pride in and then break it before his eyes.
We’re talking thousands of dollars now. Grrrr. Not that I’d sell them, but that’s part of why I’m so damn angry about it.
The markets insane unfortunately. You can still find solid deals abroad though. I visited Japan and picked up all the original Gameboy Pokémon cartridges for 100 bucks total. Red, blue, green, yellow, gold and silver. All working and in like new condition. Got a mint original n64 controller plus rumble pack in Mexico for 8 bucks.
… that’s only the first binder
As long as he has his own PS2 controller, bet. Bring that binder over, I’ll have the system ready.
This but shiny pokemon cards
Dammit I had like 3 binders full of those things. I tried to keep VERY careful track of them. I didn’t even know how to play the game, I was just caught up in the collecto-hype as a kid like everyone else, so everything was in perfect condition.
I swear I had at least an old-school Charizard or two. OG chubby Pikachu. Pokemon the Movie MewTwo (and Mew?), I had holographic Japanese cards too.
Gone. After like 3 or 4 chaotic moves around the country. I have no idea where they could possibly be anymore. I know I would have kept good track of them. It’s something that itches at my brain REALLY bad these days.
I know it’s all just a BS speculator hype anymore but seriously I could’ve probably gotten out of debt with those binders…
The mew holographic is the only card I still have, and still in the wrapping. As soon as I got home from the movies I put it in the back of a Sublime CD case. I did manage to lose the CD itself since then.
Where did you find this picture of me?
