What was your go-to videogame rental? (feddit.uk)

Growing up in the nineties, I rented (or my parents did) a lot of videogames. Namely for the PS1 and the Nintendo 64.

The village rental store would also be the place I effectively traded in games I didn't want anymore (they also let you buy their older games).

What games did you used to rent when you were younger, and did you have any go-to games that you remember fondly?

My cousin and I used to rent Guerilla War for the NES just about every weekend. As an adult, I bought the game just purely out of nostalgia.

Similarly, I remember I rented Donkey Kong Jr (also NES) so often that my dad eventually bought it for me just to save on rental fees.

For the N64, my go-tos were Bomberman 64 and Smash Bros.
