When the final boss is Blockbuster
Renting games as a kid was frequently the only way I could play many new games. I was lucky that I'd typically receive a game for my birthday and for Christmas, but the rest of the year, games were expensive and out of reach through any other method than renting. It was the 1990s and the idea of cheap digital downloads to stave off the lack of games seemed unfathomable.
Most of my local area seemed desperate to try the 'new' games - the ones with the blue line - so Story of Thor was very popular. I'd fight for a copy by getting my parents to drive me to the local store as early as possible on a Saturday morning. The challenge didn't end there though. The game was one of those 'fancy' games that enabled you to save your progress on the cartridge.
Once in a while, I'd play sufficiently so that my character would end up stowing away on a ship then discovering new caves to explore. There was always that sense that I never quite got to the meat of the game though.
