I bought The Legend of Zelda before I actually purchased my NES, but only by a few hours; the store was all out of the NES/SMB bundle that I wanted and I had to trek to another to find it, lol.
However, yes, I bought my copy of Ghouls n' Ghosts for the Genesis before I actually owned the console due to the fact that I already knew I was receiving one as a gift in a few days and I couldn't wait to crack open the box and check out the booklet. Hey, I was 14...
