A grandmother left a game of Game Boy and 26 copies of the same game

As lover of retro video games, something that I love is when I go to a family home and find a old console or video game of my childhood. It is a special moment and, irremediably, I feel invaded by a feeling of nostalgia. I know I’m not alone in this, but I am clear about one thing: it is complicated that I find a treasure like 20 Game boy that a grandmother kept at home.

It is what happened to a user of Reddit A few years ago and, of course, such a fact aroused the imagination to explain the reason for such a hidden treasure. And the one that seems more plausible is incredibly tender.

The material. Everything happened when this person went to his grandmother’s house and the cake was found: 20 Game Boy Advance Sp (one is the Edgy Mario Tribal Edition), the best version of the Game Boy Color (the transparent abode), 26 copies of ‘Wario Land 4’ and 14 of ‘Super Mario Ball’, as well as the occasional game of Game Boy (‘Zelda Oracle of Ages’, Gamezo) and Game Boy Advance and an adapter with magnifying glass for a game boy advance that does not appear in the image.

The Treasury

Speculation. In Reddit there are doubts about whether this was a real finding or just a way of winning ‘karma’ – the score that gives relevance in the network – by the user, but taking into account the numerous copies and consoles, it was also a good thread in which speculation about reasons woke up The imagination.

The reasons why grandma had all this material can be several:

• I didn’t know how to load the console And, when the battery stopped working, he simply bought a new one. In the case of the Game Boy Advance Sp, you have to remember that I was not going to batteries, but with drums. It would be strange, but hey, it can happen.
• I didn’t know how to start a new game Or I didn’t want and, every time I wanted to play a game again, I bought another copy. Ok, good, but don’t explain the 20 Game Boy.
• He was wrong when buying online the articles and did not know how to return them. This is more crazy because … wouldn’t I ask for help?

Legacy. Then, there is the Reddit user’s answer. He also speculates, since he does not know for sure, but it is something that makes enough sense (and that, sincerely, if I reach a certain age with grandchildren I would also consider doing). In the thread, he commented that he had no idea of ​​the reason after this, but that “he also left some tutorials that he printed on websites, as well as some messages for his grandchildren, explaining characteristics of the games. I love her very much and find this was a bittersweet moment. ”

That may be the simplest explanation. Simply, they loved those videogames in particular and wanted to buy the more, the better for them to enjoy them in their family. A quite beautiful legacy.

Grandparents Jugones. Although in the future the stories with older people enjoying video games They will cease to be a reason for conversation due to how normalized it will be, occasionally, tender news of this style continues. A few years ago, the Internet was fascinated with Shirley Curri, La ‘grandmother of ‘Skyrim‘, which, at almost 90 years old, went up content of the Bethesda game to YouTube.

Also stories such as older people training For electronic sports tournaments, the 65 -year -old who had 15 years playing ‘Call of Duty World At War’ either The ‘grandfather of’ Pokémon Go‘I played with 45 phones at the same time.
