Just took a trip way back.

I just found NCAA 98 on PS1 and through it in the PS3 and it reminded how excited I got the first time I saw actual logos on the players uniform.

I may be giving away my age, but I can remember walking into gamestop on launch day.....no midnight release and buying NCAA with maybe two people in line. We had no online just a room full of friends playing tournaments all day and night. The funny thing is, I played that game more than the Nextgen titles today.

Wow! How times have changed. I can only imagine what the ten years will bring.

Gamestop has been around for years. It's just that is more likely known as Babbage's back then... never knew what that meant. All the ones I knew turned into Gamestops years ago, but it's possible others converted back in the 90's.

I used to get all of my gaming needs from Boomerang Gameware. I didnt think Gamestop exsisted until the PS2 in 2001.

I looked it up - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamestop

On topic though....i still have Gambreaker 97 with Eddie George on the cover.

You might be right about babbage's, if only I could find that receipt.

Hey man as we get older we dont have as much time for video games.
I remember staying up all night over at my buddy's house when the new NCAA's came out. man those were the days. All Summer being outside all day then spending all night playing video games. Getting old sucks sometimes!

Did the same thing here with those early versions of NCAA. I was thinking about the other day where we stayed up for almost two days straight playing NCAA Football 99 and the guys that weren't playing were playing Tecmo Bowl on the NES a few feet away.

I can remember going out to my cousins and taking my NCAA 96 on Sega. So that tells you my age. LOL
