I rented Blast Corps once and that game has one built-in save slot. To erase it and start over, you have to hold the start button on console power-up, but there was no way to know this without the manual. So when I played it, all the levels were beat already. For those who don't know, the goal in each Blast Corps level is to blow up buildings that are blocking the path of a (slow) runaway vehicle. Once you do that, you are free to re-enter any level and clean up any remaining buildings and find the collectables. So the game I got to play was just a bunch of levels missing 90% of their buildings with no goals, objectives, or instruction ever presented. I imagine this was a pretty common experience for people renting it. They should have just made a save slot option on the main menu.

ur in my world now posted:I rented bad game Mario Is Missing for the SNES when I was 6 solely because it said Mario on the box. It did not go well. Yeah this was probably my biggest rental disappointment on the SNES. I don't think I even knew it was an educational game after playing it for a while.

I corrected him and his mom told me off because “some people find it rude to correct their pronunciations”. I still can’t understand what was going on in her head. Speaking of pla-gue and games where I have no idea what's happening https://youtu.be/Vpuv7VPb2rA?si=G34Z8SSAIPh4JaWq
