Lies. Doesn't come close to Days Gone Remastered....

Wouldn't have been my Dad renting them or anything, would have just been me sent into the local video shop with whatever loose change he had to shut me up. But the main ones I ever remember renting were mostly for the Mega-Drive;

The Addams Family, James Bond, Robocop Vs Terminator, think there was a Jurassic Park one too (edit: just watched some gameplay video of the Jurassic Park game, and no, I've never played that).

Hey, without the internet to check out reviews and recommendations, you kinda just go for the movie tie-ins I guess…

I also remember one summer day a few years later being so bored at home that I got permission to walk almost 4 miles into town (and 4 miles back) to rent Crash Bandicoot 3 when I had my PS1.

I checked out a few full playthrough videos of some of the games posted above. Games I rented several times but was never able to finish.

The full playthroughs of some of them are about half an hour.

Sure, they're by people who have played the game extensively etc, but yeah that kind of stings.

That said, I did complete The Lion King and that's a real bastard hard game. I think the dev said they were forced to make it more difficult because Disney didn't want people completing it when renting it, so they'd have to rent it again.

Played more of Ragebound last night. Fun getting more into it. Tricky at times, but also feels pretty fair. That said, I did the first level of the second character, and it'll take a bit to get used to her style. If enemies aren't directly in front/behind/above her, I'm guessing your only option is to do the jump kick (not always enough room or time to do it) or dodge (can often throw you directly into another enemy). She's tricky, but I do like the ranged damage.

But man, I'm really getting the aul' itch to play Baldurs Gate 3 again… Completely unrelated to NG Ragebound, but just that mood came over me again recently.
