    One thing I think some folks (ie: rich and middle class kids) don't get is that there's a lot of class gating on classic videogaming. There's a lot I didn't play as a kid because my family couldn't afford it. FF, Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Pokemon; all my generation, all too pricey.https://twitter.com/GailSimone/status/1216567662022512640 …

    Question of the day: Have you ever specifically bought something as an adult because you weren’t allowed to have it as a kid, for expense or other reasons? Particularly toys, music, clothes, books, etc.

        That my father was able to buy an SNES and N64 at all made me one of the lucky ones. But it was basically Mario and maybe one other game (fortunately, my extra game for the N64 was Goldeneye).

        In the very late 90s there was a store called Funco land and it was how I sort of caught up on my 80s and early 90s gaming.

        Yeah, further complicated by gender I think in some cases, too! Like, I played none of those growing up. Occasionally, we had the console in the house, but it was always "my brother's" (often paid for with his lawn mowing money).

        And there are studies dating form the 1990s all the way to the past few years showing that in households with multiple children, if girls don't have their OWN hardware, they don't get to play!

        Good point. I surmise it was even worse when it came to personal computers. My dad moved us to Cupertino in 1971 so I had a HUGE advantage. That was extended when he bought us an Apple II in 1977. My school did same at about the same time. Only five kids were in the club.

        This is one reason I find spoiler discussions so frustrating. "How old should something be before we can openly spoil it?" - age doesn't matter, give people a chance to go back and enjoy the things they missed. Not everyone got the chance to play or watch or read everything.

        This is something I only recently realized, I remember playing a lot of games but really, I would make each one last a year
