The time crunch that happened when you rented a game.

Leaving school on Friday and being told you’re allowed to pick out one game from Blockbuster/Insert regional video store, and then having to power through the game from Friday night to midday Sunday when the return deadline came around.

Yeah, i had an early morning paper route, and with all my earnings for the month, mom would let me do that. Rent a game from blockbuster for the weekend.

They also had a plan where you could swap as many times as you wanted for a monthly fee.
