We used to go seems like every Friday afternoon to get a movie and/or video game for Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, or N64. During Lent we’d then grab the most delish shrimp poboy from down the street.

Simpler times.

Very similar to my childhood but judging by system I bet I was 2-3 years older.

Loved me some major video, video plus, Hollywood , and blockbuster.
I posted in a nostalgic thread on OT a few months ago that it sucks that today’s kids won’t get that feeling of running into the video store and seeing that there was a copy in of that new movie or game that you really wanted to rent.

Everything may be at their fingers but I just feel that there was something just a bit more satisfying about the payoff from waiting.

I remember renting a PlayStation over a weekend as my reward for good report card grades. I loved the VHS cover art in the horror section.
