Funcoland=GameStop

Name changed but the finesse didn't

Naw, b. We had a Funcoland and an EB Games (GameStop) in the mall.


Funcoland had less newer games, but in retrospect had way more gems.

They legit hand SNES games and Saturn and the consoles you wasn't thinking to get cause they were old.




Cot damn this thread takes me back. I want to quote the entire thread. All in my feels.


Copping the game walkthroughs, GameStop had stacks of game books right in front of the register. If ya moms wasn't trying to pay another $29 for a the damn book, you just went on gamefaqs and printed it out as you went along

I miss the days when you could legit hop in the bus and exchange game tips with your friends to help them beat a level. Before online gaming. Back then co op mode meant if your mans beat the game, he just told you what to do so everyone could flourish.

Having a stack of memory cards, writing which games were saved in which card.

Take me back...

I remember back in the 90's me and some patnas would be walkin home from school, put our money together to get a bag of dorritos from the corner store- open it and put chili amd cheese in it before the dude would yell at us.



We might have known a dude or / that had a sega but everyone wanted to post up at the park or roll deep on bikes and see what the girls were soin or just act a fool.

This. Video games we're pretty much only played before school or at night.

Having to rewind VHS before returning to Blockbuster.

On that note... having to take the VHS out, rewind and guess when to stop just to watch a replay.

I always thought that VHS that didn't have the movie label in front was automatically P0RN.

I hated reading books, but for some reason I always liked ordering stuff from the scholastic book orders. They still exist but these just brought back memories
