For most of these games (presented in alphabetical order), you’ll find that the old-school prices were a bit easier to stomach. When GameStop’s select list of newly available retro games became available, I compared and contrasted with my collection’s at the time of purchase. Because the adhesive used for pricing stickers back then has the strength to plug holes in the Hoover Dam (I’ll put a better comparison here later), I’ve kept the stickers attached on the majority of my old games. Throughout that time, I amassed a decent collection of retro games thanks to a then-sizable employee discount and moderately priced titles.
I was a sales associate at GameStop for a half-decade, starting right before Black Friday in 2000 (back when it was called Funcoland) and departing right around the time the Xbox 360 launched in November of 2005. While I can’t possibly match up to Brett’s plethora of Toys R Us talk, I too have toiled in the world of retail for many years. Former Funcoland clerk Dave price-checks the retailer’s current prices against what he paid a decade ago. The pre-owned and pre-order king, GameStop, has once again decided to delve into the world of videogames made before the year 2000, debuting their retro section with a small selection of games bearing huge pricetags.
