>Be young anon
>Get to buy SNES for good behaviour with money I earned from chores
>Starfox was the first game I ever got
>Go insane trying to get the highest scores, somehow kid me thought if I did I'd get to fly with Starfox for real
>Competition cartridges come out, guy at Jumbo Video apparently got a hold of one
>Let me watch him over the counter with other kids as he played on the screen above the till
>Told us you could win stuff like watches or an SF pilot's jacket. This is the coolest fucking thing in the universe to me
>Some ads come up for Starfox 2, I'm so excited, hoping this time I'll get in on the competition cartridges thing and get to fly with Fox and the gang
>Come back weeks later and the cool cashier tells me it was cancelled, but SF64 is coming now
>Save up for N64, I wanted to try Zelda too.
>Everything went better than expected, but Jumbo Video's gone now...they all are...

No game has ever made me so happy, and the steady downward spiral and mothballing of my favorite series has hurt me deeply.
