My brother and I used to have boxed Mega Man 1 from Kaybee for $30. Got it in '89 or '90 after 2 was already out (had rented it several times before 2 was out).

I have this now:

I am not as nutty as any of the above, especially that tattoo... So I am just going to tell you a story. When I was about 15, I worked at a Chinese restaurant as a busboy, getting paid under the table. Tips were pretty good back then in the late 80s, I made about $100/weekend. Because my parents were immigrant hardass, they made me give them 50% of the earnings. Still, $50/week was pretty decent so I spent them typically on videogames and comic books.

I bought Mega Man 1 sight unseen, I think it costed about $40 back then, I don't remember now. The cover looked kinda stupid but I liked all the other Capcom games (1942, Trojan). Well, it blew me away. Letting you choose your own stage and then getting that boss' power up was fresh. I probably played it for a month, my friend and I took turns trying to beat it. I still remember that mud-splitting boss that took me forever to figure out the pattern... I can still remember being in my friend's room playing MM1 and beating that game, 30+ years later.

Too bad I sold all my NES games so I didn't keep MM1. I still have a few MM NES games but nowhere near a complete collection. Maybe one day.

In all seriousness I'd like to see Ren get it. He went out his way to help me get a Deluxe MM11 and hes a good member.

When I was 13 I decided I wanted a Megaman tattoo because I love the franchise. 15 years later and I still wanted it, so I got it done.
That's going to look fantastic after the leg hair grows back, Einstein.

Why didn't the whites of his eyes get filled? It is unsettling seeing what looks like patchwork on skin -there's like a raised level of Mega Man's skin on the guy's real skin.

I should get a Wonderboy 3 tattoo just to be one of those know-it-all Sega assholes who tries to spoil everything.

White ink basically disappears eventually. The “raised” part goes back to normal after the swelling goes down.

It looks fine, looks like my other tattoos. My leg hair is pretty minimal.

I am thinking about it... I am not a natural story teller, so it takes me awhile to compose something interesting. My day job requires me to write technical mumbo-jumbo so I am so used to sprouting either corporate non-sense or technical analysis. Retelling stories in an interesting way is out of my comfort zone. Still, I think it is good to document the stupid shit I did when I was young so I can tell my kids someday.

LoneSage is right, your story is more than excellent Lastblade. I like it especially because you mentioned actual figures from back then, money gives any story that extra spice. 50% of the earnings, goddammit... thanks for sharing.
