The year is 1994. You just found a Virtua Fighter cabinet at the arcade and your dad is going to let you play. BEST DAY EVER. 🥲

It’s happening guys. Physical video games are dead. A watershed moment in gaming. #gaming #PhysicalMedia #NintendoSwitch #ps5 #xbox

In 1996, my Dad found a bargain bin at Sears Funtronics filled with the Sega Saturn games. They were all marked down to $5 each. He bought all of them. This was only the first part of his plan to scam Toys R Us. 😬

Guys, the gaming industry might change... But they can never take away our memories. 📼 🎮

This is what they are taking from us. 💔 Guys, the industry is doing everything it can to kill physical games... I refuse to let go.

November 15th, 2001. Original Xbox Launch Day. Thank you Dad. Thank you for everything 🥲

It's November 15th, 2001. Original Xbox Launch Day. Thanks for everything, Dad. 🥲

In 2001, GTA 3 became the first video game to ever get banned in my house. Dad was not having it. 😬

It's 1999 and you're playing Mega Man 2 on NESticle... Emulation felt so UNREAL. 🤯

The year is 1998. You just bought the worst Resident Evil game ever made. Capcom... Have you no shame?! 😩

It's Y2K and you just got a Sega Dreamcast... But your dad set up the internet wrong and it called the police. This really happened to me. 😅

In 2001, GTA 3 turned Crazy Taxi into nothing more than a side quest. Well played, Rockstar. Well played.

The year is 1996. You're playing Super Mario 64 for the first time. It felt like the future...

Video games have always been expensive guys. My mom thought $50 was too much for a NES game in 1990. She and my dad even got into a fight about it. 😅 Were any of your parents the same way?

I totally would have bought a Sega Venus. This was the prototype version of the Sega Nomad which was basically a portable Sega Genesis. Probably would have sold better if it looked like this!

GTA 3 dropped on Oct 22, 2001. Just one month after 9/11. For me, it marks the exact moment pop culture traded bright arcade optimism for gritty urban cynicism. If you lived through it - Did the world's vibe change that fall, or was gaming just growing up?

Dad was so proud of the deal he got on Virtual Boy in 1997... He had to record it. 😄

It's 1999 and your friend just got you a Game Boy link cable for your birthday. Now you can trade and battle your Pokémon together! Life is good. 🥲

In 1997, Star Fox 64 gave us a reason to buy a Nintendo 64 if we hadn't already. Best Star Fox game ever.

The year is 1990. I just got the greatest Super Mario Bros game of all time. Want to play?

It was Christmas Y2K. Dad finally found his SEGA HOLY GRAIL. I'd never seen him happier in my life. 🥲

It's Y2K. You just fired up your Sega Dreamcast with Star Wars Episode I Racer and you couldn't be more excited! Boy, how times have changed... 🥲
