For me, it's the $1 McDouble and $1 small fry. $4 and you're getting elite bulking macros. 5 for $5 Arbys though? The everyday $1 cheddar melts? Kids don't know how easy it was to get fat. Now the food's even worse so you still get as fat without being able to afford to eat as much.wendy's 99c double stack was the GOAT for me

Someone says we aren't going back as a slogan...
... I won't name names. But yeah. Today's prices are insane. I never seen any system this cheap but $99 it $129 wasn't out of thr question.

mcdouble was definitely the way to go.
double cheeseburger was ~$2 i think, and the only difference was one slice of cheese.
mcdouble is almost $4 by me now--kiss my ass mcdonalds. i wont forget this insult.
arbys was closed late night near me so i didnt go as much. cheddar melt like a small beef n cheddar? love those.

Nah 1970s. Born 78. Went from atari mostly static screen gaming with joysticks to a game pad and zapper. The original NES was the real deal. Smb/duck hunt, metroid, punch out, gold disk Zelda to name a few. Mario 3 release was wild.

Wasn't but even still console makers would take loses on consoles and make the money back in software sales.
Now they want a profit on consoles on top of the software with an added subscription and sprinkle of mid gen refreshes lol

I had so many Genesis games I bought or bro's bought me, which I sold back to mom and pop video rental stores or flea market guys for $20 each.Ahah reminds me many memories, one of them being Atari Jaguar brand new at 15€/$ and me being "huh, who's dumb enough to buy that shit, it's worthless", now a Jaguar in box brand new, sell off on eBay for more than 1000€/$...

Who knew Truxton would even be worth money? MUSHA, Castlevania/Contra Hard Corps, PS4, Sagaia (MD), TF3
Had NES Tengen Tetris too. I dont think I had any valuable SNES games.

Don't know how it would work though they would have to do a lot of tweaking to make the sanity effects belivable again. When the game fucked with your tv the onscreen stuff matched most tvs of the era now tv sets dont look like that. Same with when it's pretending to delete your save file.
It's why i kept all my cube stuff the gamecubes library was small but there was a LOT of quality in there. A lot of those games are still locked to that one system which is also why the value has gone up, just glad i grabbed it at launch as jpn gamecube cases are stupidly fragile the card sleeves look fantastic but it's a bad design that damages so easily which is why most cube games are in shit condition now. Ironically i grabbed this orange cube for not that much more than that walmart pic a few years ago off amazon japan was about $70 but it was used but came with gba player & the disk ect..

Honestly if I count how much games and consoles I sold for dirt cheap, and how much I could sell them now... I guess with that money I'd have enough to buy a little apartment in France. I'm not exaggerating the market for retro gaming in France, especially for PAL FR versions of games... It's pure insanity, I see everyday games I owned and sold for 10€ being sold for 1000/2000€... Makes me sad.
