2505ArticleVaporman87I've never played a single Pokemon game, card or cartridge. I have no idea who these characters are (though I've become familiar with some because my daughter is somewhat interested in Pokemon). I'm lost in all the talk of moves and evolutions. And yet, your enthusiasm for the property makes me wish I knew everything you know about. I can only imagine the fun and excitement of experiencing the camaraderie of the Pokemon fan community, especially in the early days. Thanks for this little taste of the fun and friendship that Pokemon helped to spark. Aug 12, 2015View
2504ArticleVaporman87I typically relied on renting for my fixes, unless I was certain that I wanted the game in my collection. I did some trades, but not often. Most of my friends didn't have the same console as me. My best friend Phil did, and I would trade with him from time to time. We had several mom and pop rental shops in the area, and though they usually took their sweet time getting in the newest titles, they did have a decent selection for being in such a depressed area.A Summer QuestAug 12, 2015View

2501VideoVaporman87Wow, this brings back memories. My best friend Phil and I used to argue endlessly over which song was better - Los Lobos' La Bamba, or Club Nuevo's Lean On Me. Both were remakes of songs. I argued Lean On Me was better, while he argued La Bamba was better. Naturally, I was right all long. ;)Pee-wee Herman On Friday Night Videos, Part 4Aug 11, 2015View
2500VideoVaporman87I like how they actually PROMOTE the fact that these are imported and not American made. LOL. Cars were so bad in the 80's that it was considered a GOOD thing that they were imported? The 1988 Pontiac LeMansAug 11, 2015View

2498ArticleoniparThat sounds amazing! I wish places like this still existed. Maybe they do somewhere? Maybe if the console arcade in my town had adopted that same business plan of selling the games as well, they would have lasted longer. I wish they had.A New Kind of ArcadeAug 10, 2015View

2496ArticleVaporman87This reminds me a fairly unique place that I sometimes frequented around this same time. It was actually a video game retailer, but an independent one. Unlike the Electronic Boutiques and Gamestops of the world, this was just a little Mom and Pop place in a small strip mall area. There, you could not only buy the latest games, consoles, and accessories... you could TRY them before you committed your hard-earned cash toward them. Several TVs with a different console at each lined the tables in the back room. You paid for a certain amount of time, picked the game you wished to have a go with (though not all new releases were immediately available for trying), paid the fee, and off you went to the back room. In a closet-sized room behind the demo tables, they hid the most technologically advanced console of the day. A big screen TV and premium surround sound system huddled around a single recliner was all that sat in there. THAT was the place to be. It might cost you a little more, but you had the chance to experience those games the way they were meant to be experienced.A New Kind of ArcadeAug 10, 2015View
