Some stories about the NES:
I was my first console ever, I first played it at a friend's house (Super Mario Bros.) and instantly started to nag my parents about getting one of our own. My constant demands worked and I got the console for Christmas.
Being way too young to have any money I played my games to death since the only time we would get new games would be at my birthday in April, at my brother's birthday in June and at Christmas. This is how I mastered games like Mega Man 2 and Battletoads.
Also, having to depend on my parents meant I didn't always get exactly what I asked for... I received Zelda II: The Adventure of Link when I asked for the original and after playing an imported version of Super Mario Bros 3 at a friend's house and describing it to my mother, she somehow manage to find an imported version of Super Mario 2 Japan (which would later be released as the Lost Levels on SNES). I never told her it wasn't the right game because I knew she went through a lot of trouble to find that in our remote northern Quebec town.
