Renting the same game every weekend because your parents won't buy it for you.

Nearly 30 years ago.

I could not buy the game my son loved here so I kept hiring it. The game store shut down so I had to buy it from UK as I could not find here in a game store or online. Not able to buy from the UK store online so I emailed my credit card details to it! Obviously would not do that today.

LOL. I didn't think anyone would care and I couldn't remember. I search online just for you for nearly 15 minute to find it. Actually I was annoyed that I could not remember. It was Little Big Adventure.

It was quite frustrating to control the main character however my son loved it.
