After being asked to look through some storage boxes, a gamer has uncovered a collection of old games in his mother's garage. Sometimes once beloved items from childhood can be forgotten, but thankfully this person was one of the many gamers to rediscover retro items that were seemingly left behind.
A lot of gamers are familiar with the excitement and joy gained through creating one's own gaming collection. Whether it's finding a copy of a favorite Nintendo 64 title or a unique Pepsiman action figure, adding a new piece to a growing collection is a fond childhood memory many gamers have. However, due to the hectic nature of life, sometimes these relics get pushed back further and further on the shelves, collecting dust through the years. Life changes can make some people accidentally forget about these items that once held so much weight. Thankfully, sometimes these old games and memorabilia resurface when it's least expected.
One Reddit user known on the platform as Alex_Da_Cat got an awesome surprise when they found a box of old games from their childhood.
