PS1 games and memory cards are all originally mine from when I was a kid, same with the GameBoy games and the GameBoy Pocket.

The Pokemon Stadium and Digimon card books are complete as well ๐Ÿ˜Š

Ahh, Descent. I remember wasting a whole summer playing that with my neighbor. Probably 1996. Excellent game.

I distinctly remember getting this game as a kid.

I was with my Grandmother, and she took me to Cash Converters (a second hand shop) on the other side of town, and she allowed me to get 1 game. I remember seeing the cover of Descent and just being like 'whaaaaat' haha. I also ended up spending a lot of time playing this gem

I remember playing it on a PC with a purple Logitech joystick. It was great!

We played with a PC as well, though we didn't have a joystick :) My neighbors mother was a researcher in the university so she had a powerful PC, we could run all kinds of games on that.

Haha, I just got a flashback.. We did a full play through of Escape From Monkey Island, even though we didn't know English at the time. We just wrote down on paper which replies worked when doing the insult sword fighting. Then the rest was just figuring out the puzzles. I think it took like 18 months to get through it haha

Well, when half of the year is dark and -25C, theres plenty of time to play games :D Or start a black metal band

[โ€“] Keshara@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Haha Norwegian?

I had a black metal phase during school years and years ago haha

[โ€“] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A bit to the east, Finland :)

Ah awesome! That would have been my next guess with the Black Metal clue haha

[โ€“] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Hehe. My black metal phase wasn't too long either though. I think I listened to it for like 6 months and me and my friends played black metal stuff for a few weeks before going back to prog rock/metal :D

I did like a sort of full circle with the music stuff when I was aged 13-14. Started with classic rock stuff, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Cream etc. Then came the punk phase, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, The Dead Milkmen and so on. Then black metal phase, the proge, then back to classic rock. All this in a period of 1-1.5 years lol
