Actually yes I do. Blockbuster many years ago, Hastings many years ago before they felt like a novelty store, a few local places whose names I've forgot.

It wasn't some amazing experience. But I grew up poor. Renting games for the sega genesis and ps1 were how I experienced gaming earlier on. 20+ years ago wandering down the isles and carefully picking out whatever game I wanted to try next. Reading the back cover a few times. Carrying around multiple boxes till I decided which one I wanted. It's a feeling I miss now a days.

I still remember renting an actual snes console for a weekend. A bizarre notion now a days with emulation available on pcs, current gen console, handhelds, phones, probably a fridge. But back then it was a cool thing for me to do.


I actually rented a Virtual Boy when I was a kid. It was actually a fun experience for a weekend before I got sick of sticking my head into that monstrosity.
