I started on V but VI was really a leap forward for me. There was an Electronics Boutique in the Fairfield Mall (a good half hour from where I grew up) which was an amazing experience as a kid: you would walk into a store and learn about 50 new games, no trailers, just your imagination fueled by box art. The internet has kind of destroyed that sense of wonder/mystery, I feel sorry for future generations. :)
- bstar77 14y agoI agree 100%. For me it was Egghead Software in the late 80's early 90's. I also had fun working in Babbages in the early-mid 90's while I was in high school. Unfortunately, those years were mostly dominated by Myst and Mortal Kombat sales. I think that's why I liked Egghead so much, no BS just computer games/software.
