Before online marketplaces, digital downloads, and trade-in apps… there was the **school lunch table economy.** 🎮🤝

No cash. No receipts. Just two kids negotiating like their entire financial futures depended on it.

“I’ll let you borrow this one if I can borrow that one.”

And then came the most important part:

**YOU BETTER GIVE IT BACK.** 😂

👇 So let’s hear it—what game did you loan to a friend and **never see again?**

🍌🦍 GAME OF THE WEEK 🦍🍌
Donkey Kong Country (Super Nintendo)

The Kremlings stole DK’s banana hoard… and that means it’s time to go bananas. 🍌

Team up with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as you swing, roll, blast through barrels, and make your way across Donkey Kong Island to take down King K. Rool. With its groundbreaking graphics, incredible soundtrack, hidden secrets, and seriously addictive platforming, Donkey Kong Country became an instant SNES classic.

And if you grew up with this one, you probably still remember exactly which levels made you want to throw the controller. 😂

💬 Who was your go-to: Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong?

💡🎮 **DID YOU KNOW?**

There's a Game Boy famous for surviving a bombing during the Gulf War.

The system was badly scorched and partially melted—but when it was tested afterward...

**IT STILL WORKED. 🤯**

And yes, it could still play Tetris.

The battered Game Boy eventually became a display piece at Nintendo's New York store and one of the coolest examples of just how tough old gaming hardware could be.

👇 What's the toughest console or handheld you've ever owned?

Before YouTube walkthroughs, online guides, and Googling the answer…

There was Nintendo Power. 📖🎮

You studied the maps. Read the tips. Checked out the upcoming games. And somehow spent just as much time reading about games you didn’t own as the ones you did. 😂

And this Throwback Thursday has perfect timing—we just had a few Nintendo Power magazines traded in at the store! 👀

So we have to know…

👇 Did you have a Nintendo Power subscription? And do you remember an issue you read absolutely TO DEATH?
