I got a Nintendo when I was three, so I don't remember that all too well. In '93, I got a Super Nintendo for my birthday. I had been asking for it for a couple years, and I think the price had finally dropped or something for my parents to pick it up. They then told me video game systems were too expensive, and they wouldn't get me anymore in the future.
When the Nintendo 64 came out, I saved up on my measly allowance for over a year, and finally bought the thing in early '98, which would've been in 7th grade. That Christmas, my parents turned around and got one of my younger siblings a Playstation. That felt like a dagger through the heart.
And every system since then I've saved up for with my own money. It's a little more feasible now since I've had jobs (though at the moment, I am a typical poor college student, so this next generation will have to wait until I graduate most likely)
Jam it back in, in the dark.
