plus the systems..i mean ppl complain now, but they were like 200-500 range controllers...accesories about 50 bucks. so really no change. if you really think about it they actually were more expensive considering the time...
Wasnt much of a n64/gamecube fan but now playing on emulator and they werent half bad systems

I don't care what yall say, Mortal KombatS were better on SNES than Genesis. Even Part 1. I don't care if there was no blood. SNES was a better GAME.

Ahh, those were the days. This catalog is why I don't understand why people complain about the prices of video games. They were the same price back then. When you take inflation into account, they've gotten significantly cheaper.

Damn, I dunno about you guys, but I enjoy looking at old catalogs...
But man, those prices... chipped-PS1 FTW.
I like looking at old catalogs myself.
I feel you.
The guy who got the new Eastbay first was the coolest kid in school.
"Can I see it next?"
"Nah, brah."
Ah the memories. I had 75% of that catalog :x

i honestly have no clue...to be honest a good amount of classic games could be remade via updated to meet the new systems...ala like sleeping dogs reminded me of streets of rage... maybe a newer less side scrolling final fight, or earthworm jim, hell battletoads..strider...we need a new tmnt multi co-op player game

Capcom came out with a loose Final Fight sequel called Final Fight - Street Wise...it was a Sandbox type game that came out horrible. Definitely need Battletoads, Double Dragon, and the musical masterpiece Streets of Rage to be done over. I think if they keep it 2D it could still be great.

yea but weve seen that...so i think adding a 3d open source world to alot of those side scrolling games..add a indepth plot/story line... and update movements etc... graphics with the times... like altered beast, golden axe, or shinobi... they have done this with other games....

I know I'm late, but man I feel like a terrible son for begging so much for video games that were priced that high. The fact that my mom bought even 1/10 of what I begged for was great on her part! I didn't know any better
