I've got fond memories of Battle Toad and Battle Toad.

I bought a bunch of hard to find NES games dirt cheap from Funco/Funcoland back then.

There was a point at time when you could get Super Mario’s Bros for a penny. They had so many copies it was just valueless. It was always funny cause we would always buy one just for the thrill of paying $0.01

And nowadays, Billy Jim Bob Arbuckle at the table at the flea market sticks his thumbs in his belt and insists, "I get $40 for them Mario tapes." Which, inevitably, he does not.

I wonder if Pat the NES Punk ever managed to make that coffee table out of Mario/Duck Hunt cartridges. As the pack-in title, there are surely more copies of it left in the world than there are working machines to play it on. For instance, I have six damn copies of it.

I can't remember the name of the first used video game store I ever remember seeing advertised and going to. It wasn't Funco, and I'm not even sure it was even a national chain. But it's where I bought my PlayStation 1 and Metal Gear Solid.

I do remember their logo was an anthropomorphic SNES cartridge.

Crazy how much they charged for sports games back then. The licenses must have been crazy. I remember buying an N64 game for $70 and i saw so many other titles for $90 that were much worse than what i was buying. Crazy prices back then when people complain about $70 games now.

Well the difference now is that the games aren't stored on expensive cartridges...
