Reminiscing How I Used My Hard-Earned Money To get A Video Game

I have enjoyed playing games ever since I was a child. Even though there were no video games when I was a child. Brick and water games were the only ones available then. I recall that my parents got me a lot of brick and water games.

The water game is constructed like a pad. It has a screen, but it's not a digital screen.
It has some buttons, you will make use of these buttons to play the game.
A little round object was submerged in water and was positioned inside the screen.

Setting the small circle into the hole is what you will be doing to play the game. To accomplish this, click on the buttons. You win if you place everything inside the hole.
It can be played sequentially by many players. We played the game jointly because it is loved by all of my friends.

As I got older, the "Mario" video game came out; it was a fascinating game. To play this game, my siblings and I would go far from our home. When it first became popular, we didn't know how to play, but we eventually picked it up from the game's creators.
To reserve time to play, we would first pay a little fee. Occasionally, we would play games all day.

How I Bought My First Video Game

Back then, Sega game owners made a ton of money. My friend used to extort money from us so we could play set by set. I frequently used my pocket money to play this game. My friend took advantage of us severely.

At the time, I tried to purchase the game but was unable to do so owing to my financial situation. I cannot purchase the game with my pocket money.

Play station (PS 1) was introduced before I graduated from high school, and it was more entertaining than Sega games. This deals with the soccer video game.
I promised myself to purchase this game. I learned how to play it and I got it within a few days.

I travelled to my brother's place in Ilorin, Kwara State (Nigeria) after high school. I told him that he should secure a job for me and that I want to save and purchase PS 1 and other things. He just smiled and some days after, he secured a job for me at an electrical company.

I was paid $10 monthly at this company. I put in a lot of effort and saved 80% of my first three salaries. My brother provided all of my food, so I only took a small amount from my pay to buy recharge cards.
I was able to raise $22 for my PS 1 after the third month.
I bought a UK used PS since I couldn't afford to buy a new one.

Even though I struggled to purchase this PS, I was ultimately successful in doing so. This game allows me to have a lot of friends, both male and female.
My brother's flat was transformed into a gaming hub.
But my brother is a friendly man, he accommodated all of them and would even play with us.

The game was very interesting, because of the soccer games. Guys love soccer, the game taught me how to do football selections and developed more interest in soccer games.
Up till date, I'm a lover of soccer games and PS in particular. I wish to buy PS 5 soon(which Is the latest version of PS).

I believe buying PS 5 won't be that much struggle as it were when you worked hard to get the first video game you owned. Such a feeling of ownership and responsibility is something awesome. I love that your brother was also friendly when you turned his home to a game hub 😁😁 some wouldn't even allow that.

I hope you get the PS 5 soon.

PS 5 is very expensive my sister, I can't afford it presently. There are a lot of responsibilities than that on my neck.
It's just a waste of assets to get that at this moment because it will depreciate later.

My brother self enjoyed the games and how I was cashing out, lol.

Thank you for stopping by dear, you are amazing!!
