Sorry man i cant help it,gaming boxart unlocks powerful emotions in me from a time in gaming that has almost been forgotton as if it never existed....great days and great games. I only have to look at a particular title and i can remember what i was doing,what was on the TV,what movies where out at the time,where i was living,what music was about at the time etc
Couldnt agree with ya more white,those games thinking back clocked same hrs or more than any game i play now,even though games are way way better today and i do enjoy the games today, theres something that was so magical about playing all those years ago.
