Every console and game had its own scent

I can remember what N64 smelled like, hell I can remember the smell certain excat games had.

Its a weird thing to be nostalgic about. but I do miss it

Damn right. I remember I'd usually get new games on a Sunday after Church, and immediately start reading the instruction manual in the car on the way home, primarily to familiarize myself with the characters.

as the youngest of 3 boys, I often ended up with the instruction manual long before the controller. Came to be something I grew to love.

I do miss instruction manuals. Getting a feel before playing the game

And to that extent rpg guides. I had the ff9 guide but not the game for so long. It was a terrible guide for playing but it gave lots of inspirations for rpg and characters

Also I had a tekken 3 guide that was always by my side

I loved it when games came with physical maps like Zelda 1 and Secret of Mana. Gave a scope of how big the adventure was going to be.

I got a map with DQXI, but I don't want to look at it until I beat the game.

I miss how the majority of new games were actually new games instead of simply HD remakes of games that I already own.

when disks would get scratched and you couldn't finish the game

when cartridges would get screwed up and you'd spend 15 minutes blowing into them before you could play

when you'd get stuck in a game and you'd either just forget about it or go buy a strategy guide at the bookstore

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
