Garage Sale Games

I'm quite exhausted after today. My town, which may be a whole five hundred elderly people, were hosting their annual garage and yard sales today. Out of the usual strange nicknacks and hordes of furniture, I did find a few video games laying around. A regular Sega with a couple of mainstay games like Double Dragon Battle Toads, Sonic, Sonic 2 and a few other titles that escape my mind at the moment. If I had the money and knew it worked, I'd purchase it, but alas, I left only to come back to an empty table and a shrunken heart. It actually shames me to say that most of my older consoles, such as my Sega, Nintendo and Nintendo 64 have gotten lost over the years. I wasn't able to save the games either, no matter how dearly I loved them. One of my goals in life is to reunite with my lost collection, re-apply all the time and love I put into those games and restore my unity with them. Of course this will take many, many years, but is a long time goal. I did however find an almost perfect condition copy of Driver for the Playstation. I've played that game a lot with my father since he's quite the car guy. His love for cars got me into racing games actually. I found a unique beauty from each crafted machine and being able to drive my dream car in a race. I only wish I would have found more games in my lost collection, but at least I'm one step closer now. I didn't have much time to actually check each sale, but I was surprised that some of the older people have these games to put out.

I apologize for the short post, but fear not, tomorrow I'll be talking about a surprise game that has been very popular through the years, although I haven't gotten into it until about five months ago. Till then, I am one tired gamer who still finds time to game everyday.
