I'm entertained by how many of the console descriptions in each ad said "realistic graphics"

That's what we need again. I want a translucent blue PS4.

That gold tamagotchi

Seems like portable fighting game ports have actually gotten better.
MikeDaTiger
Shit that reminds me. I haven't fed my Tomagotchi in 15 years. Hope he's ok

Insert helix fossil shop onto a Tamagochi

Game gear was my spirit animal for family road trips

I cried looking at this, makes me miss my 7 year old self...

I wish there was just a button you could press to go right back to then.

N64 was a pain to get that first year. I believe the PS4/XB1 shipped more consoles each on day 1 than N64 did the first 3 months.
EverybodyDoTheMastodon
And people complain about game prices now. Back then OPs literally could not suck enough dicks to get the $$$ for 1 game.
AhmedTheClockMaker
Wish I could take this to Walmart and demand price matching on random things.
umaricandreamin
at a certain point in time, these prices will be true again.
GreedyWildcard
Systems may have been cheaper, but back then $200 was a fortune to me. $300-500 is much more doable w/ a job (and self control / saving)
Vedar
Yeah do you have any idea how much work I had to do to convince my parents to get me a ps1.
GreedyWildcard
N64 was a triple "all-you're-getting" Christmas gift for me and my 2 brothers... The year AFTER it came out. I feel the pain
Vedar
I wanted a ps1 the christmas they came out, we were poor so I have no idea how they afforded it. Even came with 2 games.

Vector man was badass
Tredecim
So fucking amazing at the time, freaking 3D on megadrive and funny as hell
Lynexia
Damn. That's actually kinda neat.
SirLantsBojangles
Analog joystick actually looks pretty legit even by today's standards.

LOOK! All the Sega Saturn games ever on one page!

I never could figure out what the fuck was going on with Nights.
StuntManPat
God i wish controllers were still 30 bucks. Now it's like, i can play a game with a friend or buy another game. New game wins every time
adolfnixon
Newer controls are also packed with tech. Rumble, wireless connection to system, built in battery, tilt sensors, touch pads, etc.
illegalacorn
To be fair those old controllers sucked. Except (S)NES, that's timeless and you don't need anything fancy.
TheRealDurdan
There aren't any good multiplayer games on the ps4 these days anyway
LouisianaBob
Call of duty still offers couch coop online and off. Zombies is a lot of fun but damn is it still expensive to buy the dlc in any of them.
hotxbuns
Adjusting for inflation, those controllers would be about $45 in 2015. Still less than Xbox One or PS4, but not as much as you'd think.

I CAN SMELL THE PAGES.

Free Virtua Fighter 2, Daytona USA, AND Virtua Cop when I buy a SEGA Saturn! Goodbye IMGUR, hello Toys-R-Us~
squallau
Blocky SNES with all-purple buttons? "Genesis"? lolmerica.
turbofang
With inflation, that N64 is like $300
DuckyJoseph
I'm kind of horrified now that my dad bought me one.
EmoWookie33
Those games are around 90-100
EverythingISeeIsAJojosReference
And we still complain about $60 games.
VigorouslyRubsADubDub
the standard n64 is $199 but the gold one is $149???
Tredecim
Shit you're right wth ?
boinsie
I think that page is actually from a different flyer.
SuperBobKing
That same page also mentions that the tamagotchi will be available Dec. 1 1997. So either the wait time was ridiculous or you are right.
colorblindwalrus
Fuck you, Vectorman
DrFartstheTRex
That was the first game I can really remember being so over-hyped for such a mediocre game.
Tredecim
Didn't like it ?
xyrax
Suuuuuuuuuuper random post lol

My parents BUSTED their ass to get me the n64 for Christmas the year it came out. Also got a vcr and Jurassic park. Best. Christmas. Ever.
Darkivan64
And what have you done for your parents in return? Got my mom a big ass tablet and tablet lessons (she needed them)
PizzaStation
I got an N64 and a TV for my room that year. I realize now that my parents did it knowing they'd never get to watch TV otherwise.
websurfintime
A VCR and Jurassic park dam son, that was some hug tech stuff back then!
SirTimTimOfSealand
N64 and The Ocarina of Time. 1998's Fallout 4.
UsernameNotVerifiedForAccuracy
Replaying Ocarina on the 3ds was the best choice I ever made
ScaleScentedAnalDildo
...did you just compare a Zelda game to a Bethesda title?
SirTimTimOfSealand
Twenty years ago Zelda blew us all away with its new 3D interface.
adolfnixon
He was comparing the levels of hype and excitement, not gameplay.
mordaedil
Uh... Fallout 2 came out in 1998...
DrFartstheTRex
I was 13 years old and I stayed up 24 hours straight with that game at first. Mom came to check on me and I told her to bring me more coffee
