Right. People been complaining about $60(now $70) for 15 years like these shyts wasn't damn near 80$ in the 90s

That's because cartridges were more expensive to make, PS1 games were only between $20-$50 dollars.

Here's What A Toys 'R' Us Catalog Looked Like In 1996

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

I HAD THE WWF RING


Used to make tournament brackets during class in school for my action figures and hold a tournament when I would get home

I had a silver surfer action figure that was over heavy back in 98 so he won alot


The gi jo figures were my all time fav
The jawns from the 80s/90s they had alot of mobility..you could make one of them put the other into a sharpshooter.

GREAT TIMES

Woooooow


The legendary OG PlayStation for only $129 that came with a free shirt


Those moon shoes and that rocket launcher is so fukking 90’s


I remember them Smithsonian experiment kits, most especially the super volcano

1998 was right around the time they started introducing the DVD to the markets when damn near every household still owned a VHS cassette player


It’s always amazing looking back at how strikingly advanced the 90’s were technologically compared to the rest of the 20th Century.

You was THE MAN if you had a DVD player with a home stereo and The Matrix on DVD
