When Street Fighter 2 for SNES came out (remember that long awaited holiday?) My family was on an out of state vacation, and we had no SNES. We found a store in a mall that had SF2 the day it was released, my cousin and I snatched up our copies fast. It was DAYS of reading the manual and staring at the box before we could get home and play it. Long, long days of agony.

Oh dear yes! I recall reading the Zelda manual about a hundred times within the first hour or so of ownership, as if I would find something new on that 47th read through :P
