I grew up poor. What drift? I grew up on mouse and keyboard because a computer was also useful for schoolwork and it's not like it was a gaming PC anyway, it was really crappy but could play GTA San Andreas at 20 fps.

Keyboard and mouse cost like 5 euros a piece to replace, though I don't believe I ever needed to replace a keyboard.

Can't have drift if you don't have analog controls ¯_(ツ)_/¯ The pain I experienced as a kid was finding a PC controller, working a full day to get the thing working, only to realize it is complete ass, man did I respect console controllers after that.

Oh man I remember that controller. There was a little stick you could screw into the d-pad that was a bit of help for some games, but it was all pain after a while

I loved my gravis gamepad.

I grew up poor. What drift? And what mouse?

My NES and 6 games were absolutely fantastic in 1996, thank you very much

You bought a device dedicated to games when you were poor???

No, I was a child.

But should poor people not have video games? Lol
