$5 a piece? You could get SEVERAL games for $5 if you wanted to. Pre-GameStop era Funcoland was the closest thing to a gaming paradise than ever existed before or since. Lots of games cost literal pocket change.

This was my sense. I admit I was a lucky kid who was given far more than my fair share of games for birthdays and Christmases. But even putting that aside, I was always renting games, borrowing games, loaning games, visiting friends and playing what they had, etc. I've beaten a ton of games that I never owned even to this day. And once Funcoland started popping up it became a pretty good deal. I traded some shittier Nintendo games for stuff like the Mega Mans and Metroid. And they weren't very expensive at the time. You could do a lot of damage with $20.
