Kids aren’t exactly known for long-term planning. So it’s always interesting to find out what single thing was so desirable in your young life that it got you to forego candy and arcade games and whatever else so that you could save up some dough. For me, the 1991 release of the Super Nintendo console made me quit my 7-11 beef jerky and gummi bears habit faster than you could say “Hadouken!!” I also sold the original Nintendo console that had been gifted to my sister and me (along with all the original Nintendo games I’d gotten from past birthdays and Christmases). $200 bucks and a few months later and I was on my way to Toys R Us, boyyyy!
