A Gamer Looks At 40

Ep 81 - The Memories and Magic of Renting Video Games: Part 1

Bill Tucker Episode 81

Remember your local video store? Maybe it was a mom and pop shop on the outskirts of town. Perhaps it was a big box chain in the corner of a strip mall. Regardless of where it was or what it was called, video stores were more than a weekly fix of random games. It was an oasis of exploration and discovery. A place where $4 could buy you a brand new favorite or a weekend of disappointment. Join myself and a gaggle of fellow travelers as we unpack the memories of rental shops: what we rented, where we did so, and everything in between.
