The Game Boy Pokemon games seem way overpriced, but that's probably with collectors in the market just buying them as investments rather than people buying them to play them for nostalgia purposes. I mean I've still got my copy of red, and my brother still has his copy of yellow/pikachu (although only the cart, no manual or box). He MIGHT still have his copy of blue from back then too. Same with a lot of the PC/MS-DOS games at 1:39, but that's probably because their all "big-box" versions. I mean if you just want to PLAY some of those, rather than physically own them, you can get them cheap on GOG/Steam.

Fun fact they had to change the original shot of Maria Whittaker and the Wolf for WHSmiths for The Barbarian game as they wouldn't sell the game with Maria Whittaker on it. So you will find some Barbarian games with just the Wolf posing by himself. Also the Wolf wasn't that recognised back then as he didn't do Gladiators till later where he got the name The Wolf.

The Barbarian poster is page 3 model Maria Whittaker, weirdly she was a household name in the 80’s
@icekitty400 Ай бұрын
She's still beautiful now. Kids use to rave for The Barbarian just because she was on the front of the cassette. She's my favourite Page 3 girl from The Sun as well as Linda Lusardi. There's actual footage of Maria Whittaker and the Wolf modeling for the pictures of this game on youtube but unfortunately can't seem to remember on who's platform.

Big Tech companies are shitting down WEB2.0 applications and softwares. Giving room for more businesses to be their own tech company is too priority. If you have the knowledge of coding, then applying that to their open source softwares shouldn’t be a problem since you still on that technology. It would mean GPL and MIT licenses can be open to the public now for people to publish their own versions of what they have bought with their own money.
