A nostalgic discovery has livened up an otherwise boring shopping trip.
While staying in a sleepy country town for work commitments, Adam decided to kill time on a Saturday morning by visiting the local shopping centre, but it was underwhelming.
“Honestly, it was shit. It only had a little cafe, a couple of clothes stores, a boring variety shop, a supermarket, a newsagency, and a second-hand bookstore,” said Adam. “The cafe had decent coffee and the bookstore was ok, but that was it.”
Then Adam discovered an unexpected gem: a retro video game shop.
“It was called ‘Allan’s Video Game Archives’ and it was AMAZING! It was tucked away behind the newsagency, so I nearly missed it. ‘Allan’s’ had all the retro consoles and games from Atari to the Wii. I saw games that I haven’t seen in 30 years!”
Embracing the nostalgic thrill, Adam bought himself a second-hand Game Boy, a pack of batteries, and a handful of games.
“I loved my Game Boy as a kid, so I didn’t think twice once I saw it. And only $120! And the games and batteries were only an extra $200. A steal compared to the Switch!”
After heading back to the hotel, Adam got stuck into the games.
“I bought Tetris, Lemmings, Super Mario Land, 6 Golden Coins, and Link’s Awakening. These games will keep me occupied during the downtime at work next week. And I’ve already browsed eBay for new games to buy.”
Everyday News is a brand new general news/parody section of The Gurgler, and definitely not a lame rip-off of ‘The Betoota Advocate’. We swear.
