I've been blessed

Post image

So one of my coworkers, an older lady, saw me playing on my gba sp while I was on break. She was like oh I've got a bunch of old games my kids left behind do you want them?

I was more than happy to say yes. She brings in an old makeup storage bag filled with her daughter's old collection of games as well as a functional gba sp 101 and dsi light. I was kinda mystified when I opened it and saw all of the stuff I got for completely free.

I'm assuming her 30 plus yr old daughter just actually forgot these existed. My coworker was just gonna get rid of them anyways. Also the bag they came in smelt like mothballs and was not savagable. So I don't feel too bad about it.

The grey one is bugs bunny crazy castel and the black one is Mary Kate and Ashley get a clue. So not exactly bangers but understandable to owned by a little girl in the 90s.

Beating the OG Donkey Kong on Gameboy remains one of my proudest gaming achievements!
