It's 2002. I'm 17 years old...
I just landed a job at FuncoLand at the height of the 6th console gen.
In this 'Memories' episode, I'm going to take you with me as I revisit what it was like to be a video game store employee during better days. You'll learn about what working there was like, but also the experiences and memories I carry with me to this day, and even some Patron submitted stories!
This is one of the biggest projects ...

Join us as we discuss why it left such a mark on not just video games, but every kid who got the chance to play it.

After way too long, it's finally time for another Retro Blast Memories episode.
This one was difficult for me to write. It's very personal, but I think it will resonate with anyone who was ever a kid that grew up loving video games, especially in the 90s.
I hope you'll enjoy it. - Patrick
