Consoles or games that have a good story behind them?

holy crap the roach stories are the worst! I wouldnt even try to save the games/consoles, I would just get them as far away from my house as possible, once they are in they never leave!

I got an SNES from my work (nothing at all to do with gaming) it was in the network closet for some reason, and the manager asked if anyone wanted it and I of course took it. I found out later that on slower nights the workers would place the 13" TV in the garbage can (to be out of sight) and play SMW until customers would come in the store.

Found a fried earwig colony in my 90s gaming PC once. I gained 4MB of memory when they were gone.

That Wii bug video convinced me to never buy any consoles ever off of ebay.

This is why I always open all eBay purchases in a tub with a camera going on.

Not just because I'm a paranoid freak, but because I have reason to be a paranoid freak.

Ick.

I picked up a DC that had a burned snowboarding game in it, but I guess it needed a boot disc, because it won't just play.
I'm interested in seeing other people's save files. I've picked up a few used PS2 memory cards. I normally see a few of the big name game saves, one or more Star Wars game, a racer, GTA Wherever, and some Wal-Mart specials.
I don't recall ever finding an RPG game save.
I did get a N64 Banjo-Tooie that had 110 hours, 56 hours and 89 hours across the 3 save slots. I cleared the 56 hour save so I could start the game, but felt pretty bad still. That is a TON of hours on that cart. And it's a platformer!
