With Christmas right around the corner I thought I would be kinda interesting to post this vintage video from 1990 talking about the hot new 16 bit consoles on the horizon and how the economy was doing around that time period.

Don't you find the old console wars much more interesting than they are nowadays? I do at least........

Yea there was some great marketing for SEGA back in the day, with Blast Processing, and Welcome To The Next Level and stuff like that. Nintendo fired back with their Donkey Kong Country commercial though in 1994 when Sega was doing all their Nintendon't ads.

It's also funny how people complain about how much games cost at 40-60 dollars nowadays but some people forget that some games back then went for as much as 70 dollars. I believe I have heard of some close to 80 dollars or so..... But I was too young at the time to remember...

Back then it really felt like competition. Like there was 2 monsters in gaming who genuinely didn't like each other.

Battle.net - Dayman
Steam - RancidVomit86
PSN - RancidVomit86

I believe I have heard of some close to 80 dollars or so....

when Street Fighter II came out for the SNES here it was actually more expensive than a brand new console with 2 controllers. Games were expensive back in the day.
