Not for nothing I don't ever remember a video game being $80 except Neo Geo shyt which most people didn't have. It's in the pic but I don't recall most games being over $49.99.
Yup, only 3-4 games a year back then. Fastforward to 2015 I bout 4 games in November alone

The Sear Xmas Wish Book and Sears Credit
When that Sears Xmas Wish Book released around September of every year, I was in my parents ear daily listed all the things i wanted for Xmas because I knew my dad had that Sears credit card. I would circle everything in that book. My dad probably still paying off Xmas's we had back in the 80's.
Buying a floor model TV was a momentous experience because you knew that was going to be the family TV forever. If it stopped working, it was still cheaper to send it to the shop. Every little town in the South had a TV repair shot because it was so expensive to buy a new one. When I go home and drive around, I still see the old TV repair shops that have been closed forever but still have the names on the buildings.
I had #17 as a kid. This big metal transformer called Jet Fire I think.

Hell yeah. Most people had a 20 inch or 27 inch. When the floor model died put that 20 - 27 right on top that bytch. If you had a 50 inch you was ballin hard. Drug Dealers dream right there.
$2300 for a 2 gig computer. 2 fukking gigs.

This, when it came to games and movies we pretty much lived at blockbuster when I was growing up. Remember being pissed that they would only have one copy for the popular games when they come out so you had to wait for three weeks to play goldeneye and zelda on n64

@hexagram23 is speaking facts in here. I was the first person in my family to get a computer and that was in 1998. I knew people who had computers in my neighborhood, but it wasn't commonplace by any means. Nobody I knew did anything on the internet. If they had it.
My grade school had the old Apple computers with Oregon Trail though
And one of my friends had a computer in his room with Sim City
His family literally hit the lottery though
By the time I was in high school, my school library had the internet, and I would go to the duck down forums and argue with people about whether Hell on Earth was better than the Infamous
I'm 35 btw
What you know about Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

No that interesting. Great Grandmother got us a Compaq in the late 90s and I had to deal with a 56K connection and that shytty PC until 2006.You should, that story's entertaining as hell.
Finally Pops got us a much better PC and cable internet.
That feeling of being able to download a full anime series in hours was .
