:lol: I've been wondering about that for years.

Fuck the Altmer anyway. The Dunmer are cooler and the Bosmer are far less irritating.

Yeah that was pretty great.
I just played as Ashley for the first time. It was *terrifying* :lol: Wasn't so much the creepy dark areas, it was being defenseless!

I was probably about 11 or so and even I thought that was expensive.
Worst I paid was $106 or $119 for Casper game on PSX. The cover art was awesome and so was the CD.

I never even saw one demoed in any store I went to. The system was always this mythical thing that looked amazing in magazine screenshots but was utterly unreachable.
I recently found a relic store that had all these retro consoles connected to multiple TV's and they were all switched on and one of them was a Neo-Geo. Its something videogame stores used to do back in the early 90's I guess. Always wondered, were they not worried that it will kill the system faster?

Also, I believe 3DO price was similar to Neo-Geo so why it was more common? maybe games price was cheaper?

Absolutely. Neo-Geo's AES (home) carts were just like the MVS (arcade) games you'd play so they were priced accordingly at around $200 a pop back in the day. No you won't need the calculator to figure out the 2014 dollars because some of the rarer titles will go for what that $200 got you in the 90s.

3DO, being disc based had prices that were comparable with other CD-ROM titles at the time.

Well just found out i have a game that the xbox version is broken(though I don't think I'm going to play it myself since I have the ps2 version). It's that true crime new york city(which apparently became the series became sleeping dogs :lol: ), kinda half tempted to try it eventually even though it was in the stack of close to 7-10 games that I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of(without using as coasters since I'm not sure I'd ever want to play them). kinda funny to realize that now after watch a video about game glitches

I agree with what was said about the lack of any decent games on classifieds, everyday before work I have about a 30 minute gap before I start and I check out what has been posted for the day, and let me tell you...its not much

Kijiji is what I use in Toronto and to be honest every here and there I will find something good (and grab it right away of course), but its mostly trash..

Just got a Wii U. One of the first games to come to mind as one of I wanna get now is Tank Tank Tank.

I look it up and see that it's now selling for more than retail price on eBay and Amazon. I honestly was thinking it was gonna be some title that would be in the bargain bins of GameStop. Sigh.

Literally, one of the few Wii U games I don't own. It's also exploded in price... WTF. I was waiting for the same thing as you and then forgot about it.
