The first game I distinctly remember shelling out my own cash for was Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! Talk about a an awesome purchase. I went to Wal-Mart and saw it sitting behind the counter. It was being held for someone. If they didn't come get it by (insert random time), I could buy it. Well, no one claimed it. After my mom had finished getting whatever she had to get we went back over to the little Nintendo cabinet and it was still there. I still have that game and manual to this day.
