This is a true story.
I was about 7-years-old when Donkey Kong Country came out. It looked insane, and more than any other game for the system, it was the one that left me the most jealous of SNES kids. I needed to play it, but the only one I knew who had a copy was a boy on my block who I didn't get along with. I tried to suck up to him, but he knew I had a Genesis. He saw through my deception.
One day while riding my bike, I saw him run out of his garage to go over to a friend's house. With the garage door still open, I saw a golden opportunity... And so I snuck into his home and made my way to his bedroom, popped in Donkey Kong Country, and started playing. From the hallway, I could hear his mother approach, asking him a question that I cannot recall, clearly assuming her kid decided to stay indoors. As she turned the corner and peered into his room, she saw me on his bed playing the Super Nintendo. I'll never forget how loud she screamed as she chased me around his house and out into the street.
Just me doin' a little B&E because I love Donkey Kong Country so much.

I have so little interest in Donkey Kong my brain just can't comprehend any of this 😂😂😂
@FallenGrace That is, excuse me, bananas.
Anyway the cool thing about having little notoriety is I can just confess to crimes. B-)

this is incredible. A true testament to donkey kong mania, which is a thing i just made up now
I can't think of a Genesis game I'd break into someones house for. Maybe.
The closest I have to this is "borrowing" DKC2 from a neighbor kid right before a move, still have their name on the back of the cartridge as a reminder of my deceit.
Was worth though.
