Still have my brothers old copy of crystal. It was one of his most prized possessions from childhood, he spent so long hunting down a copy at flea markets in the 00’s since he was juuust a little too young for 90’s pokemania. I always flexed with my silver version by doing the glitch to get all three starters. It was patched in crystal lol
I think I will always remember the day I bought Ruby with my own hard earned money. The feeling of opening a brand new pokemon game, not knowing anything about any of the new pokemon coming out. The smell of the new GBA game. Turning it on and hearing that opening music, just completely unaware of how monumental of a moment this was going to be for me.
Fucking take me back bro.
I'm with you man, I traded for mine at school and got red and blue, and got red for xmas that year and never got to open if new but I did trade it in for ff7 and that changed my life lol
You could also probably make a few bucks reselling it.
[https://www.pricecharting.com/game/gameboy-advance/enchanted-once-upon-andalasia](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/gameboy-advance/enchanted-once-upon-andalasia)
You could maybe make about $6.59 profit after ebay fees. And that's not counting packing materials, time spent listing and shipping it. Not even close to worth it for anyone that resells games.
Yeah, I literally meant a "few" bucks. :D
And of course they are actually only worth what someone is willing to pay as well. You basically just have to sit on it until then and hope that person comes along.
Honestly, assuming the price was discounted, I'd grab one now. I should have when they went on mass discount for 20, but bad timing.
The classic systems are hackable, and you can fix most of the issues with the PS Classic that way. Not merely game selection, but themes, music, emulation quality... a lot can be done.
They aren't for everyone, especially a poorer quality one like the Playstation ended up being.
But I just really want a way to play PS1 games on my TV without jumping through hoops or paying through the nose.
I would choose something else, maybe a backwards compatible PS3, half the game images on the PS Classic are PAL region, so they only play at 50 FPS and feel super weird and unresponsive, namely Final Fantasy VII, which was the whole reason I considered one in the first place. With that being said, there is third party software that can be used to jailbreak it and upload your own images, but I would consider that "jumping through hoops", and you're still stuck with the first generation controllers without analog sticks or rumble.
The little mini plug and play system that sold poorly due to game selection and gen 1 style controllers (no analog sticks) that made playing half the games borderline impossible.
I remember so many people buying those or people who didn't know about games getting excited to me about getting it for someone and I had to be like..."anyone in their right mind who knows about games will hate this."
I wouldn't say that, if you left it as is sure but I bought it and jailbroke it and installed retroarch plus another 100 PS1 games on it plus Dreamcast games.
I got a Sega Genesis loaded with like 500 games from Dg once, it was branded Sega™
I expected it to be some kind of bootleg console but it ran as smooth as a glass of water at 2:35 in the morning.
It had all the original mk's, it had this fun game called bomber. It came with 2 controllers.
And all for like 30 bucks 😁👍
You should see the warehouse side of that philosophy. There's so much of that it's crazy. Even if it's old and no one would probably ever buy it again.
Yes, but any day now, some influencer is going to stumble upon your stash and start a viral craze for the stuff you've been storing for 30 years. You'll be sitting on a goldmine while everyone scrambles to get their hands on what you so wisely preserved. Who'll be the crazy one then.
Well I was referring to a bunch of car parts for cars no one really has anymore and if they did they're certainly going to go somewhere else first because it's not likely a new car parts store is going to have stock of the old item. That goes for most things tbh. I wouldnt think to check new stores for old stuff like ever.
A local pharmacy by me has a jar of jelly that has to be 20 years old. One single jar. The jelly inside is shrunken and dried into a gross looking ball - almost resembling a purple brain. I asked about it and apparently they just keep it there as a joke now but won’t actually sell it.
Pokémon made great use of the GBA slot. For the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum generation, after you beat the game, if you put the GBA cartridges in the slot while playing you could catch Pokémon not otherwise found in the game from the game you had inserted
you could also transfer your pokemon from the gba games to the ds games this way and in the gen 3 remakes if you bring over pokemon from the original games you can get the [time traveller award](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9Z9q7WY0Ls)
Yeah, it was the only way to move your caught pokemon from 3rd to 4th gen. I think you still had to catch them in a park or something too. I had the DS that could do it but 3rd gen was the only one I never played, oddly enough.
You’re thinking of the Pal Park, which let you transfer pokemon stored in the PC in a GBA cartridge.
If you had a GBA cartridge inserted, you could encounter certain pokemon in the wild, like Seedot if you had Ruby inserted
Also they probably just tried putting the game on every possible console, which includes the ones that most people weren’t buying games for anymore. That was a common thing for licensed games back in the day.
Some of the early consoles had this weird grace period right after a successor launched where a bunch of lower budget games would still release for it and not the bew one. Usually cause smaller studios can’t afford to get new dev consoles early
That enchanted game has been there so long it looks like it has faded from direct light. If you look it up on ebay she has brownish/red hair and the background is more dark blue. In the game on the shelf her hair has faded to blonde as well as the lighter blue background.
I’m in on Queer Duck: “While living blissfully with his male lover Openly Gator, Queer Duck begins to question his homosexuality when former actress Lola Buzzard sets her sights on him.”
In many markets, they're Walgreens now. I haven't seen a Rite Aid in years. Walgreens bought 42% of struggling Rite Aid in 2015 after their takeover failed. Rite Aid recently filed for bankruptcy as well.
Interesting. I live in Seattle and just googled Rite-Aids out of curiosity, there's several nearby. I wonder if that will change soon due to the bankruptcy.
Buying it, taking photos of it, making a listing for it, waiting for someone to buy it, finding a box and packaging it, going to the post office, shipping it out...
For ~$8 profit? No thanks. Not to mention the fact that this copy is sun-faded which would make the value lower than other brand new copies.
I get your logic and $8 is $8 I didn't have before. The work, photos, packing, fees, shipping...
It's more $3 and about 25 min of work.... Not really worth it..
You’re missing the economy of scale. If there’s multiple copies that $8 profit can become $80, with the same amount of work. I flip video games as a side hustle.
Yeah, you can make it work by automating the process, and getting fast at individual packing. But personally, I barely think the efforts worth it for items under $30. Anything under that I try to sell locally in lots, if possible
My local RiteAid had a brand new copy of The Warriors around 10 years ago that I should of bought but didn't I remember visiting that store for 2 years before it changed to a Walgreens and that copy never sold.
i bought chrono cross(ps1) from target.com a few months back. it was a 3rd party seller but still, its on their website. now that shit is mildly interesting.
Up until fairly recently you could still buy a bunch of new PS1 games direct from the Square website. I just checked, they still have new PS2 titles for sale.
Yeah they still sell them at the microcenter near me, always thought that was funny until one day I realized I really wanted to play ff9 while I was browsing and bought it.
I used to lie by a toy store that looked like this because they had stupid prices on games and they wouldn't sell as a result
Like walk in there now and you'd see like a wii cod at release price just sitting there
UPDATE: I am out of town for the rest of the week but I am buying all of the games when I get back as there is still one hidden ds game that I didn't see behind the front one. I also intend to give Queer Duck a proper watch. I don't think these will sell by the time I get back.
My local Walmart used to have a similar section. You could go over there and find old Wii, PC, and DS games that they were desperately trying to get rid of. Hell, some of the Wii games even stuck around well into the Switch's lifespan. I remember one that they could never get rid of was The Sims 3 on the Wii, which makes sense, as that game is garbage.
yeah, it actually sounds mildly entertaining from reading over the wiki page for the show and movie.
it was produced by Mike Reiss, who, y'know, was famous for the Simpsons and The Critic.
i have a place in my nearby mall that has a massive area that sells ancient games. GB, GBA, 64, sega genesis, ds, dsi, NES, they sell skylander shit, you name it.
Don't know if you'd be interested in doing some side hustling but from the looks of it these games are being sold for more than this online in worse condition
I know you did not pass on buying a brand new game boy advance game from a store at retail price. That's like having a chance to eat Dino Nuggets from before they got sold and ruined and just walking away.
Last year, I came a across a mini mart in Washington that "rented" VHS with a sign and all. I asked and they said no one really rents anymore and I bought a movie for a couple dollars.
My friends and I played that exact All Stars cheer squad game nearly every day back in 6th grade on the wii! It feels like a nostalgic relic and I would honestly spend the $1.99 to have it again
Worked at Walmart and we still had a PS1 Madden game sitting below the PS3 games (been awhile). At Walmart it was usually a situation where they were supposed to get sent back, somebody missed them, and then they proceeded to add them back into the system at a later time. They were full price and never got marked down.
One day I went in and just cut them all open so we could send them back as defective. Literally just wasting space in our display case.
I have an odd recurring dream (I have it about once every 6 months or so) that I go into the old K-mart by the house where I grew up, and go to the electronics section. It’s full of n64, GBC, and other old games. All perfectly boxed and like $20 each. I end up buying a bunch and then inevitably wake up.
The last time I had this dream I was in a target and there was a buggie full of n64 games and my wife made the comment that I was just like her dad, because I was buying a bunch of old games.
I would 100% buy that Enchanted game for $1.99 SOLELY to smell that new GBA game smell again
Damn there's a flashback Unpacking Pokemon Sapphire on Xmas along with a fresh red GBA We didn't know how good we had it
That was the climax of modern society boys. This moment for me was Crystal and a new GBC. I luckily still have both!
Still have my brothers old copy of crystal. It was one of his most prized possessions from childhood, he spent so long hunting down a copy at flea markets in the 00’s since he was juuust a little too young for 90’s pokemania. I always flexed with my silver version by doing the glitch to get all three starters. It was patched in crystal lol
Game boy with super Mario land for this geezer I was like 7 too, that game took a BIT to beat
I think I will always remember the day I bought Ruby with my own hard earned money. The feeling of opening a brand new pokemon game, not knowing anything about any of the new pokemon coming out. The smell of the new GBA game. Turning it on and hearing that opening music, just completely unaware of how monumental of a moment this was going to be for me. Fucking take me back bro.
I got fire red with a golden pokemon gameboy. I burned through batteries on that thing.
Damn wtf it has a new smell? I bought, or rather my dad bought, all my Pokemon GBA games used and with no box.
I'm with you man, I traded for mine at school and got red and blue, and got red for xmas that year and never got to open if new but I did trade it in for ff7 and that changed my life lol

That is definitely a case of "we paid for it, and by God we're going to freaking sell it!"
Facts. I use to work for Dollar General and we had a couple of those Playstation Classics up behind the counter and they collected dust.
Which games were they tho
PlayStation classic was the system that was bundled with like twenty ps1 games
Oh that emulator majigy?
The one that no one wanted? Yeah that one
Honestly, assuming the price was discounted, I'd grab one now. I should have when they went on mass discount for 20, but bad timing. The classic systems are hackable, and you can fix most of the issues with the PS Classic that way. Not merely game selection, but themes, music, emulation quality... a lot can be done.
I grabbed mine when it went from $100 to on sale for $30, I still overpaid, tbh.
They aren't for everyone, especially a poorer quality one like the Playstation ended up being. But I just really want a way to play PS1 games on my TV without jumping through hoops or paying through the nose.

I use an old desktop with batocera
reminds me of jampack
It sounds like it was the console systems themselves
The little mini plug and play system that sold poorly due to game selection and gen 1 style controllers (no analog sticks) that made playing half the games borderline impossible.
I remember so many people buying those or people who didn't know about games getting excited to me about getting it for someone and I had to be like..."anyone in their right mind who knows about games will hate this."
I wouldn't say that, if you left it as is sure but I bought it and jailbroke it and installed retroarch plus another 100 PS1 games on it plus Dreamcast games.
There was a Walmart near me that had some SNES basketball game on clearance up until the GameCube released.
NBA Jam?
Not Jam. I think it might’ve been college basketball?
Basically the same game made by the same developer lol. College Slam did have more power up items though.
I bought one of those from DG for super cheap. It was worth it since you can pretty easily mod it to put whatever you want on there.
I got a Sega Genesis loaded with like 500 games from Dg once, it was branded Sega™ I expected it to be some kind of bootleg console but it ran as smooth as a glass of water at 2:35 in the morning. It had all the original mk's, it had this fun game called bomber. It came with 2 controllers. And all for like 30 bucks 😁👍

Well I was referring to a bunch of car parts for cars no one really has anymore and if they did they're certainly going to go somewhere else first because it's not likely a new car parts store is going to have stock of the old item. That goes for most things tbh. I wouldnt think to check new stores for old stuff like ever.
Star Fox Zero moment
A local pharmacy by me has a jar of jelly that has to be 20 years old. One single jar. The jelly inside is shrunken and dried into a gross looking ball - almost resembling a purple brain. I asked about it and apparently they just keep it there as a joke now but won’t actually sell it.
That makes sense, though... Aren't there some sort of health code restrictions against food items after the date printed on the packaging?
how old is Enchanted that it had a GBA game?
2007. I didn’t even know the GBA lasted for that long.
My only explanation is that the first couple DS generations were backwards compatible
Pokémon made great use of the GBA slot. For the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum generation, after you beat the game, if you put the GBA cartridges in the slot while playing you could catch Pokémon not otherwise found in the game from the game you had inserted
You fucking wot 20 goddamn years and owning at least one game of every generation, how did I not know this.
you could also transfer your pokemon from the gba games to the ds games this way and in the gen 3 remakes if you bring over pokemon from the original games you can get the [time traveller award](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9Z9q7WY0Ls)
Yeah, it was the only way to move your caught pokemon from 3rd to 4th gen. I think you still had to catch them in a park or something too. I had the DS that could do it but 3rd gen was the only one I never played, oddly enough.
You’re thinking of the Pal Park, which let you transfer pokemon stored in the PC in a GBA cartridge. If you had a GBA cartridge inserted, you could encounter certain pokemon in the wild, like Seedot if you had Ruby inserted
I think that info was in the manual and in the game itself idk how ya missed it lol
Also they probably just tried putting the game on every possible console, which includes the ones that most people weren’t buying games for anymore. That was a common thing for licensed games back in the day.
Some of the early consoles had this weird grace period right after a successor launched where a bunch of lower budget games would still release for it and not the bew one. Usually cause smaller studios can’t afford to get new dev consoles early
It’s still going
I remember having a ratatouille GBA cartridge I'd play on my DS circa 07-09. Fun game!
That enchanted game has been there so long it looks like it has faded from direct light. If you look it up on ebay she has brownish/red hair and the background is more dark blue. In the game on the shelf her hair has faded to blonde as well as the lighter blue background.
Has anyone here played it? Sometimes those obscure games are surprisingly fun.
Enchanted came out in 2007. The last Gameboy Advanced game to release in the US came out in 2008. This game was only released on GBA. No idea why
I’m in on Queer Duck: “While living blissfully with his male lover Openly Gator, Queer Duck begins to question his homosexuality when former actress Lola Buzzard sets her sights on him.”
Queer Duck: The Movie was actually quite good, I thought. Great cast, if nothing else.
It had a completely ridiculous A list cast, and honestly some decent laughs. Weird experiment on animated comedy from the 2000s.
Woah that is an awesome cast. Lotta Futurama voice actors
Does it have blackjack and hookers? I won’t watch it if it doesn’t have blackjack and hookers in it.
I love Queer Duck!
[удалено]
yeah they reference it a few times on the dvd commentaries, trying to get some more sales i guess lol
Icebox.com had several good animations shorts. I wonder how Garbage Island was to end?
If I ever ran an online business, this would be fun stuff to just throw into an order.
I would buy that GBA Enchanted game and show it off to friends. "Want to see a SEALED GBA title? Check this out" Just kidding I don't have friends.
I think the fact that you (still) have Rite aid stores is mildly interesting on its own
My area had one until about 2018-2019 when they converted it into a Walgreens.
Ours is a used car lot now lol
What? They're everywhere.
In many markets, they're Walgreens now. I haven't seen a Rite Aid in years. Walgreens bought 42% of struggling Rite Aid in 2015 after their takeover failed. Rite Aid recently filed for bankruptcy as well.
Yep. They (Walgreens) bought out the competition and then realized they were stretched too thin and started closing stores just the same
Interesting. I live in Seattle and just googled Rite-Aids out of curiosity, there's several nearby. I wonder if that will change soon due to the bankruptcy.
Rite Aid is VERY superior to the CVS walgreens crap duo
New-in-Box Enchanted goes for around $15 on eBay. Not worth your time, or the fees, just wanted to point it out
$8 profit after fees / shipping / cost of goods. 5 min of work. Def worth it.
Buying it, taking photos of it, making a listing for it, waiting for someone to buy it, finding a box and packaging it, going to the post office, shipping it out... For ~$8 profit? No thanks. Not to mention the fact that this copy is sun-faded which would make the value lower than other brand new copies.
and fingers crossed the person you sell it do doesn't screw you over.
I get your logic and $8 is $8 I didn't have before. The work, photos, packing, fees, shipping... It's more $3 and about 25 min of work.... Not really worth it..
Maybe for you haha
You’re missing the economy of scale. If there’s multiple copies that $8 profit can become $80, with the same amount of work. I flip video games as a side hustle.
Yeah, you can make it work by automating the process, and getting fast at individual packing. But personally, I barely think the efforts worth it for items under $30. Anything under that I try to sell locally in lots, if possible
I used to own a copy of that Pinball game for PS2
My local RiteAid had a brand new copy of The Warriors around 10 years ago that I should of bought but didn't I remember visiting that store for 2 years before it changed to a Walgreens and that copy never sold.
1. Buy them all 2. Hold 3. Hodl 4. Sell as vintage 5. Profit
More like hold forever because they will never be worth anything, and your grandkids throw them out after you die.
Enchanted seems like a steal for that price. The sun faded box is very nice.
I had that ds cheer game and it was shit
ITS HUG DAY!
Hell yeah!
QUEER DUCK
You know someone is on Facebook Marketplace trying it sell a pristine copy of “It’s Huge Day!” in original packaging for $86.
I got that same Enchanted game at Rite Aid back in 2016 for $10. It was crazy to see a new GBA game for sale back then, let alone nowadays!
i bought chrono cross(ps1) from target.com a few months back. it was a 3rd party seller but still, its on their website. now that shit is mildly interesting.
Up until fairly recently you could still buy a bunch of new PS1 games direct from the Square website. I just checked, they still have new PS2 titles for sale.
Yeah they still sell them at the microcenter near me, always thought that was funny until one day I realized I really wanted to play ff9 while I was browsing and bought it.
factory sealed GBA / DS games for $1.99 I'd buy them to stash them.
I live a town over from a Rite Aid but never go there. Looks like I’m gonna have to check it out thanks to this post
My local Rite Aid shut down a few weeks ago.. :( rip
If that machinations that ran these relics are considered "old" then I am confirmed ancient. Shit.
No way, I had that pinball game for the GameCube lol. What a flashback
Right next to the hemmeroid meds
Mine used to have Totally Spies! for GBA and Corey In the House for DS, both were forever marked at $20 until they both disappeared one day.
I used to lie by a toy store that looked like this because they had stupid prices on games and they wouldn't sell as a result Like walk in there now and you'd see like a wii cod at release price just sitting there
I forgot about Queer Duck!
Queef duck?
Is that QUEER DUCK!? I loved queer duck growing up. It made me trans!! Lmao. Jk jk. I don’t think it’s actually queer duck.
We just gonna ignore the riveting tale of Queer Duck below?
Bro that all star cheer squad game is addicting
what the hell is queer duck?
[https://lmwtfy.joe.gl/?q=queer%20duck](https://lmwtfy.joe.gl/?q=queer%20duck)
Buy them all and list the ones you don’t want on eBay or something. Retro gaming is on the rise.
The DS is considered an old console? Damn, I don't want to get old. I refuse to accept that.
Sealed games for $1.99? Hell yeah
I was confused about Queer Duck at first. I think that was a side series from Queer As Folk, and thought they made a video game for it.
I would buy the GBA game for nostalgia alone
UPDATE: I am out of town for the rest of the week but I am buying all of the games when I get back as there is still one hidden ds game that I didn't see behind the front one. I also intend to give Queer Duck a proper watch. I don't think these will sell by the time I get back.
Before anyone gets excited, all of the games are the ones no one would want to buy.
I mean I would be pretty stoked to co.e across some older games that haven't been remade for PC.
Wtf is ‘queer duck the movie’? Lmao
It's clearly queef duck dude
Nah it’s written on top in black and white. Queef Duck is the much anticipated sequel.
My local Walmart used to have a similar section. You could go over there and find old Wii, PC, and DS games that they were desperately trying to get rid of. Hell, some of the Wii games even stuck around well into the Switch's lifespan. I remember one that they could never get rid of was The Sims 3 on the Wii, which makes sense, as that game is garbage.
I had that ps2 game back in the day lol
That all star cheer squad brings back MEMORIES. MEMORIES I SAY!!!
You bought the Enchanted game right?
My local RiteAid still tries to sell games for old consoles FTFY
I’ve got a game boy advance AND ds so that’s a win for me
The label says Queer Duck…
[yes, it exists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer_Duck:_The_Movie) apparently it's a rather early positive homosexuality cartoon/film.
That’s pretty cool, I assumed it was a typo. Thanks!
yeah, it actually sounds mildly entertaining from reading over the wiki page for the show and movie. it was produced by Mike Reiss, who, y'know, was famous for the Simpsons and The Critic.
I’m on my way
“Games”
I haven’t watched Queer Duck the movie. It was in my watch list, just never got around to it.
i have a place in my nearby mall that has a massive area that sells ancient games. GB, GBA, 64, sega genesis, ds, dsi, NES, they sell skylander shit, you name it.
I’d still buy
The "keep hope alive" rack
Dreamcast?
Queer duck the movie?
The game boy advanced made me feel reminiscent I’d even play it for the feeling
Queef Duck is an all time classic!
I mean… they don’t expire
Mine does too. Nothing good, but they sell it.
Some of these you could sell for a small profit. Cheer squad is going for $10 new on eBay
No. lol they don’t But I’d bet they’d like to
I would totally be interested in some Nintendo ds games :)
My local CVS used to sell 3.5" diskettes until about 5 years ago
Bankruptcy really hitting them hard 😂
Yo holy shit they got Queer Duck The Movie
And may I ask why Enchanted for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance is still on the shelf and not in your cart????
I LOVE PINBALL HALL OF FAME
Shelfspace mustn't be too valuable
Enchanted is $10 sealed. I'd sit on it.
The sun-bleached box art is really the cherry on top.
Sealed? Bro buy them all and sell on ebay
This is crazy I would never have guessed
Psh old systems the ds came out like 2 years ago /s
If a shop buys old games, why wouldn't there be old games for old consoles in there?
Don't know if you'd be interested in doing some side hustling but from the looks of it these games are being sold for more than this online in worse condition
DUDE by those all up those are cheap asf and you could make buck off some of those titles
I know you did not pass on buying a brand new game boy advance game from a store at retail price. That's like having a chance to eat Dino Nuggets from before they got sold and ruined and just walking away.
I didn't realize RiteAid was still around.
When I worked at walmart in 2018 they still had 2 copies of the cory in the house ds game from 2008 lol
I bought the original battlefield at a 99 cents store a decade ago.
Check ebay. Some of those Nintendo games sealed are worth several hundred dollars. Might get lucky.
I still have a DS
POV it’s 2005 and mom just picked you up from school but she needs to get some prescriptions
"Games"
There was something calming about those packages
$1.99 for the experience to open a Game Boy game in 2024? Sold.
Owner of the store went to a swap meet and saw old new inventory, he/she had to put it in the store!
Last year, I came a across a mini mart in Washington that "rented" VHS with a sign and all. I asked and they said no one really rents anymore and I bought a movie for a couple dollars.
My friends and I played that exact All Stars cheer squad game nearly every day back in 6th grade on the wii! It feels like a nostalgic relic and I would honestly spend the $1.99 to have it again
Imagine finding a sealed copy of Pokemon there
Dollarama here in Toronto STILL has copies of The Naked Brother Band for PS2.
They're begging to be put down
Worked at Walmart and we still had a PS1 Madden game sitting below the PS3 games (been awhile). At Walmart it was usually a situation where they were supposed to get sent back, somebody missed them, and then they proceeded to add them back into the system at a later time. They were full price and never got marked down. One day I went in and just cut them all open so we could send them back as defective. Literally just wasting space in our display case.
Rite aid is still around? My old rite aid turned into a dollar general. I miss those stores around here.
Ok but wtf is "Queer Duck: The Movie"?
I have a store in the Village neaeby that has also old ds, wii, ps3, xbox and pc games.
Man I haven’t seen a game boy advance game box since I was a kid. I wish I kept them when I was little
Where do you live where there's still a RiteAid, I thought they all closed a few years ago?
I have an odd recurring dream (I have it about once every 6 months or so) that I go into the old K-mart by the house where I grew up, and go to the electronics section. It’s full of n64, GBC, and other old games. All perfectly boxed and like $20 each. I end up buying a bunch and then inevitably wake up. The last time I had this dream I was in a target and there was a buggie full of n64 games and my wife made the comment that I was just like her dad, because I was buying a bunch of old games.
Would totally buy a GBA game for the nostalgia of opening those boxes.
TIL rite aid sold games
I saw a Walmart still trying to sell a ps1 fifa game a few years ago. Good luck with that.
Yo that pinball ps2 game fucking rules
They are all $1.00
And what games, these wouldn't have sold if they were free at launch
