Like most people I have one closet space in my house that I affectionatley call "the void"... All my junk goes in there and I rarely actually look inside of it for fear of my personal safety.
Well since the new year is approaching, I finally conqured my fear, and the things I found inside blew me away (in a good way).
I haven't gone through all the stuff yet, but this is what I found so far.
- Killer Instinct Gold for N64 (complete box and inserts)
- Bunch of orginal Game Boy manuals, including titles such as Pac-Man, Yoshi, and Super Mario Land 2
- A briefcase full of unblemished magazines such as Nintendo Power, Tips & Tricks, GamePro, EGM and GameInformer (I was subscribed to all of them).
I took some time to read some of them and it brought a big smile to my face to see the "Exclusive first-look screenshots of Mortal Kombat 2" and Star Fox, as well as read the articles about the war between the 16-bitters SNES and Genesis.
That alone was worth braving the void for. Gosh I feel like I stepped into a time portal.... what a great feeling.
Ya'll probably have a much larger collection than me, but this was like finding a lost treasure and I wanted to share the experience here. Personally I think gaming was at it's peak back then during the great system wars, and it's just not quite the same today
