Great thread, Legit...and I see it originated back in September.

True story guys, and this is NOT anecdotal...no matter how much you think my prior posts are just BS :)

Back in the 90s, one of my friends showed up at my room with a SNES console and the game "Super Conflict"

At the time, I thought the game, an RTS one as I recall, was cool, but nothing special.

However, another friend of mine (who I shall call 'Pete') who was also in my room, was completely blown away by it.

So, on that same day, Pete went to the local mall and bought a SNES and SC together at "Electronics Boutique" (any of you remember that store?)

and played the game all day long at the apartment he shared with his GF.

Hours later, his GF told him that "we cannot afford this on our credit card, you have to return them both to EB"

The next day, Pete returned both items for a refund.

Cheers. I have a few threads I wish would resurface that are extremely interesting to me but this is one of the lesser ones. I might bump a few during the Xmas period. 

Poor Pete, should have stuck to his gut and dumped the GF instead of the SNES.

LOL. He ended up marrying her the next year (I was the best man) and they stayed married for 25 years, divorcing a few years ago.

Yep, I bet the divorce was set in motion the day she prevented that man from having his SNES. He shoulda seen that big red flag.



Systems I bought because of one game:

SNES: A Link to the Past
PS1: Final Fantasy VII
PS3: Valkyria Chronicles
369: Virtua Fighter 5
