I miss when the shopkeeper would let me window-shop the colorful Famicom games in that locked glass case. That angle was magic. Just looking at those cartridges could keep me entertained for ages. Eventually our patience paid off and I saved up to buy quite a few of those classics from that shop. #RetroGaming

And I’ll never forget this particular scene. One day while I was window-shopping, a customer came in and started a heated argument with the video game shopkeeper about a game trade-in. I kept my eyes on the games behind the glass case, pretending not to pay attention, while listening closely to every word they said. In the end, the shopkeeper won the argument, because the customer really didn’t have any good reasons to back up his complaint.

By the way, the video game shop was in Taiwan.
