I never actually beat Super Ghouls n Ghosts- that game was fucking difficult. In fact, I don’t think I made it very far at all. Now I want to go back and try and beat it.
That shit reminds me, you don’t see game companies roasting or shitting on each other anymore like back in the day. Fucking Phil Spencer is all “Congrats Naughty Dog on Uncharted 4. You’re not a gamer if you wish failure on your competitors” and shit. Nigga where is your rancor? Nuke them niggas and shit Xbricks all over them!!
Sega didn’t give a fuck, and neither did year one Sony Playstation. I still remember that video commercial of Crash Bandicoot hanging outside Nintendo of America’s headquarters and talking mad shit with a mic and interviewing passersby and shit. Fucks not given!
Ya I blame AVGN and Mike for raising prices on a lot of games. Once they showed off some “rare” games, people jumped on it like crazy.
I bought Wild Guns and Demon’s Crest for 30 bucks each back in the day cause I know they were fun. Now they are easy 100 a piece.
Glad I got them when I did, prices are jacked up like crazy cause all the kids that played games when they were young, are now 30 year olds like me with money to throw at them.
Gotta be smart though… If you buying from ebay, Amazon or most sites, you gonna get ripped off.
I bought most of my games from nintendoage cause it’s full of collectors, so you bypass the resellers +150% mark up.
And some games were always expensive, for the past 10 years or so. Earthbound, Mega Man 7 and Mega Man X3, Super Turrican 2 are three games I recall always had a high price around 100+ bucks.
FF6 was selling at Funcoland in the 90s for $100 used…
But I do blame guys like AVGN for some… I saw one of those shitty ass bible games for like $80 once and I’m like wtf?
Sega didn’t make a decent controller until they released the 6 button, and even that controller was a piece of shit compared to the SNES controller. I still have two Propad 6 controllers which were BEAST controllers and could take a beating from hell and keep on going. The OG genesis controller is one of the shittiest controllers ever made. I think I went through 5 of them in my prime genesis years. http://www.lukiegames.com/Sega-Genesis-SG-Propad-6-Digital-Processing-Button-Controller_p_16226.html
