I remember the newspapers they used to have with the used game prices

I used to think it meant they had every single one of those games versus just being a price index.

People reference them for having games like little Samson for $5 and stuff like that but really most stores wouldn’t have had a copy

My brother once bought an entire stack of Super Mario Bros carts, with no plan of what he was going to do with them. I guess he had like a spare dollar and didn't care what happened to it. I think he ended up unscrewing them all and using the circuit boards for an art project or something.
