I can remember saving my allowance for however long I had to, to be able to get the game I wanted, and then riding my bike to Walmart, or the used game store, or wherever it was, and then riding home with a stupid grin on face. I feel bad for kids who will grow up to be adults who won't have memories like that.

In fairness, kids these days will have all sorts of formative memories unfathomable to previous generations
