paperboy, streetfighter, NARC. G-LOC (the simulator) WWF wrestling got most of my cash though ah, happy days

back in the days of spunking all your paper round money on a saturday imagine blowing all your weekly wages in a morning now (ok, i suppose some of us do that on our cars thinking about it!)
