Bitch
Buying a game during a trip to another town, being away from your computer for a week, and spending the entire week just fondling the game box, reading it, reading the papers that came inside, doing game foreplay.
I was a young adult when I bought falcon 3.0. I was two days from home and spent the car ride reading that book that came with it. It quickly ended up on the shelf above the toilet and I spent a many evacuations looking through it. I have never before or since bought a game with a larger manual.
I only did that once. It was R-Type.
I got it back home and it wouldn’t load. My parents were not in the mood to drive all the way back for the sake of £2.99 of my pocket money.
I eventually palmed it off on Toys R Us when I noticed their receipts just said “Game”. I got another copy. That wouldn’t load either.
