Kind of sounds like you missed a lot of amazing games.
I mean we played a ton of different games, but we also lived in the middle of nowhere and we were lucky to buy a new game once every 6 months. Those games got a lot of replays simply because we didn't have access to a big library of games. We would trade disks with kids at school occasionally, but for the most part we only had like 10-15 games for our PS2 at any given time. Had to sell games we didn't play much anymore to afford new ones. Such is the life of poor people living an hour away from the nearest game store at the time lol
Did you ever go to the library? You can "rent" games for free.
What makes you think we had a library that had a video game section if I said we lived in the middle of nowhere and an hour away from the nearest video game store?
I wouldn't be surprised if the closest library to our old house up there just figured out how to install windows XP on their systems.
