Super Mario Brothers 2 came with the NES. You must have had an earlier version. But that doesn't make sense because of your age.

I almost got a Sega Saturn then thr the manager at Electronics Boutique told me it was trash and the Sony Play was better. Great choice. Playstation smacked the Saturn and the Nintendo 64.

Sega didn't have the money and power to take on Sony Microsoft and Nintendo all at once. It was smart for them to become a third party company and make games for other systems.

Came across your channel recently and have loved the content. I recently have made a transition into adulthood being a father of two girls, so seeing my Childhood on on a 2000s grainy tape cam recorder that your Pops captured means a whole lot to folks like me who miss those nostalgic, historical early to late 2000s gaming period days. I may get flack, but today's Gaming landscape and gamestop locations are no longer Fun to be in or look forward too. Thank you to you and your father for helping a young adult like myself relive those times thru yours guys' lens.

During the time when PS3, Xbox 360 and all the PSP, DS, and other olden gen games were in hand and transitioning to the newer gens my Gamestop threw all their games in the garbage because they were just keeping space on shelves it hurts to know they did that and just trashed them.. I'm not sure if all Gamestops did that at the time but mine sure did..

I got my hands on one after couple friends had them always was a fan of Sega not so much Genesis it was cool in the beginning but SNES system trade with a friend is where I was at. I was at a Hollywood videos little game shop next door and found one DC refurbished for $100 I was like what the heck let's see already knew about the Capcom games on there were insane at the time has like 6-7 2D fighters on there ie; Cap vs snk 1 & 2 with a program disc play JP games has three versions of SF III all the Sega games crazy taxi and sonic and had the 2K sports games probably the best NFL game ever made arguably. The system had so much potential but was sad only time you'd heard of it was at a friend's house I didn't see too many commercials growing up not really promoting titles for the system I believe the marketing approach lacked. I vividly remember one commercial had all the characters you can imagine from games at the time inside the system and ends with a red Dreamcast logo swirl. Edit: I was hooked since 2002 maybe late 01? I didn't jump on the bandwagon right away.

If they launched it worldwide in 1998 I think the Dreamcast would have lasted the distance. It would have sold way more as the PS2 would have been further off and the only reason it didn't get so many amazing games at the end of 2001 like the PS2 was because SEGA killed it. However I do not think they would have killed it in early 2001 with the extra sales it would have had.

Was definitely confused when I saw someone list Symphony of the Night in a list of best RPGs on the PS1 because Castlevania is about the farthest thing from an RPG in my mind.

Your dad was a great man but ultimately a failure because despite getting the Dreamcast early, didn't seem to have Tokio Extreme Racer around to impress your cousin... TXR were better looking and more customizable than Grand Turismo. They also featured an open-world highway system, with days that pass, and other RPG elements that make you feel like you really are a Tokio street racer circa 1998...

WoW definitely has an end game and a story. Beat the last bosses in the dungeons, and you see the story unfold. You can beat it. Many people choose to continue after they beat it, because the mechanics of the fights are so fun, and you have to work as a group of 20 or 40 to beat the final dungeons, and repeating the dungeons gets better gear for each player for the next dungeon, and you become friends with those other players over time. Not liking a game strictly because its "an RPG" is one of the most childish things I've ever heard. I have a theory, that despite being privileged enough to own many consoles and games, you and your dad may have just been really bad at a lot of video games.
