| VAMatt said: What I miss more than the booklets is the ritual of going to the store to see what new games were available, reading the back of the boxes, and making purchase decisions on the spot. Now I know everything coming several months or more before launch. I read reviews to determine what I want to buy. The backs of boxes show nothing, most of the time. In reality, I know that the current way is better. Still, I long for the days of popping in a cartridge and knowing little of what I was about to play. |
Wow this is such a good post that it could be a thread in itself. Back in the 90s I had 3 diff mag subscriptions EGM, GamePro, and Informer. But I used to love to go to EB while my mom was in the mall and I would spend an hour or more sometimes doing just that scouting the back of the cases in order to decide what game to purchase. Magical times...
