If you've bought the same game several times because it has been rereleased, you might be a racketboy member.

I don't wanna think about how many versions of the original Sonic games I own...

If you have 3 or more copies of a game for a single system (much less across different systems), you might be a Racketboy member.

It's alright. As a Racketboy member I've come to appreciate the experiences afforded by systems like the Virtual Boy, so I set my expectations pretty low.

You're right, that's worse. :lol:

And here I have two copies each of Mario Bros. 3, Mario 64, Grandia 2, and Sonic Shuffle.

OMG! I forgot I even did that! I was 12, at my grand parent's house with my spare/broken Nintendo I left there (cover off so I could run a screwdriver over the exposed contact pins to get to secret levels in SMB1) and had just rented Battletoads. My little brother and I had just gotten to the hoverbike level for the 4th time and needed a break so I hit pause.
"Wow!" *cranks the volume knob on the 14" TV we're playing it on in the basement* "LISTEN to THAT!"
We left it cranked for about 15 minutes drinking grape kool-aid until my grandpa came down and said "What's that noise? Is something broken?"
LOL! Thanks for the forgotten memory!

The Battletoads games always had cool tunes, though a lot of people haven't heard the songs from the arcade game. Listen to this



Awesome!
