OP here

i think its a cycle because i lent my childhood friend and neighbour Killer Instincts Gold and Cursing World and he sold them....

i tried to trade/steal a copy of Goldeneye from some orphan kids but i didn't have the heart.

[Anonymous No.676608]

Gave my buddy my lime green game boy color with a few games. He moved away a few years later.
Gave my PS2 controller and a bunch of games for it to a friend. Still has them but I dont have any motivation to play PS2. A few of those games I stole from my fat cousin who was a dweeb even by 4chan standards. You know, those kids who throw a tantrum and yell like children during CS matches. Felt i deserved his games since i gave up a portion of my life entertaining this sad excuse of a life

[Anonymous No.676623]

Well, I have a bunch of Genesis carts that belong to my friend, but he fell off the face of the earth, so I couldn't return them if I wanted to.

Game and Watch Gallery from a friend. I moved and we never had a chance to trade back.

He has my Link's Awakening. ;_;

borrowed, played and forgot about it, so did he. He was over often enough to take it back anytime so.

I borrowed this from a friend, then about a week later he smashed one of my windows as a "joke". Obviously I broke off all contact after that but a few months later he got a mutual friend to ask for it back and I feigned ignorance

[Anonymous No.676780]

I borrowed Mission: Impossible and Ikari Warriors for NES. Forget about them and moved before I had a chance to return them. Still have them to this day.

On the other hand, I loaned out Mega Man 2 and Shadow of the Ninja and never got those fuckers back, so karma definitely bit me in the ass.

On a related note, I had a "friend" who was a real asshole, so I borrowed and never returned his copy of the Nintendo Power LttP strategy guide. I also borrowed his copy of FFIV and "accidentally" overwrote his save where he had successfully looted a pink tail.

[Anonymous No.676820]

when i was in high school they tried to start a video game club and on the first day they ever had it i stole chrono trigger, mario rpg, and a bunch of shitty n64 games and they shut down the club because of it.

Borrowed Silent Hill from a friend and lent him Rez in return.
When I came back for Rez I offered to return Silent Hill even though I hadn't finished it yet, but he declined. I offered to return it again at a later time, but he was disinterested and has never brought it up since. He's the type that went all serious as soon as he graduated college and got himself a girlfriend and probably thinks he's grown out of video gaming. Then again he has a girlfriend, but I have Silent Hill, a fair trade off.

I swapped my LoZ:MM for my friend's Mario Party 3, then I graduated and haven't seen him to swap back since.

It's honestly not a big deal because I don't have the Expansion Pak to play MM, it was just collecting dust and I'd rather have someone who can play it (and is the biggest LoZ fan I've met in real life) own it.

Not technically a game, but when I was in college they were donating computer hardware for Computers for Africa, and I and a couple students were tasked with setting up the computers to work. Along with a bunch of the hardware was a few IBM Model M keyboards. Those Model M keyboards never made it to Africa.

In 6th grade I let a girl in my class borrow Animorphs for the GBC and she let me borrow Link's Awakening DX. She never asked for it back, so I just kept it.

A couple of years ago I stole a Sonic and Knuckles cart out of a Genesis that was for sale at the thrift store. They wouldn't sell it separately and I only wanted the game.

I think a lot of times it just ends up you borrow something, and since they never ask for it back, you just end up keeping it, usually unintentionally. Hell, my friend lives next door to me and still has my copy of Goldeneye 64, but I haven't talked to him in years and I just never bothered to ask for it back. He didn't steal it, I just never made the effort to reclaim it.

[Anonymous No.677236]

>>677218
A lot of times in childhood it wasn't "hey I see this guy all the time but I am intentionally not telling him I have his game still"

It was transience. You and a friend would borrow each others' games, then one of you would move away.

Happened to me. My copy of FF6 was borrowed from a friend. And either I loaned him Kirby Super Star and he loaned me Earthbound, or the other way around, then he moved to Hawaii and made the trade permanent...

Don't remember which ones I ended up with because then later I gave my SNES and all my games to my cousin, because she'd always want to come play them and I had my n64 by then and didn't want her bugging me all the time....talk about regret

lent my friend 6 or 7 gamecube games so she could play when she was sick at home because of her ms
asked her a year later for my games back
she kept putting it off, saying things like I couldn't come over to pick them up because her parents weren't home or that she hadn't beaten billy hatcher
turns out she sold them
a year later at her birthday party I snuck into her room and stole her purple gbc as well as pokemon crystal, mario land 2, banjo tooie, and her pikachu edit n64 controller.

I've lost 7 games this way. Damn sisters friends.

[Anonymous No.677614]

Not from people or friends, but I have a copy of Gex 64 lying around that I rented when we rented like 2 movies at the same time. They forgot to charge us for it, so we just got it for free basically, and they never once called or asked us or charged us a late fee. Sadly that Hollywood Video has long since closed and is now a Family Dollar or some shit, with a disgusting Family Video across the street.

I also have a copy of Winback: Covert Operations on the N64 that I rented from a local chain called Circus Video. The owner got busted for drugs or some shit, so all 2-3 stores closed and either liquidated or threw away their shit. I just happened to rent it like the day before this all happened, so free game.

Too bad I fucked it up with a Gameshark

I don't think I've ever borrowed or loaned out a game to anyone, save for a brief stint of swapping Pokemon Blue carts with a kid in class in elementary school. We swapped back shortly afterwards though because I missed my team. Luckily he didn't fuck anything up, and neither did I.

Someone tried to steal Turok 2 from me.

Of course I am not a bitch so I took it back by force. In hindsight I should of said fuck it.

Ok I am a bitch, because...

NES with games were borrowed to a friend in the early 90's. Town flooded and flooded my NES

Sega Saturn was stolen by drunken indians, along with Nights, virtua cop, panzer dragoon saga

N64 was borrowed to a buddy 6+ years ago. It is way too awkward at this point to ask for it back and even if I did I am sure it is trashed or pawned by now.

Not /vr/ but still an interesting story:

>Friend of mine goes to a store of a well-known chain
>Goes to try Wii U
>Noticed that the Wii U controller didn't have a security seal that they usually have at stores in order not to be stolen
>He decides to steal it just for the laugh
>He didn't even bothered to hide it, he was just carrying it casually and walked away from the store with it like a boss
>Nobody from the store realised anything

Note that my friend is kinda rich and he's not a shoplifter/kleptomanic, he just stole it as a prank to this store with the zero security. And now this Wii U controller is at his desk along with other video games. He doesn't even have a Wii U.
