Jokes aside, at their most expensive, VHS tapes would retail for $124.99. Of course, they weren't really meant to be bought at that price, just purchased for rental, but they were crazy expensive way back when.

I remember how ludicrously expensive and heavy big screens were. They had to send like 4 dudes to bring your setup home

The mid 90s was such a wild time for gaming, all sorts of wacky new shit appearing monthly. Looking back its kinda nuts how many companies dropped the ball on using CDs until Sony finally got it right. Also I don't understand why the Japanese were such giga peepeeheads to their developers.

It seems like so many companies in the early 90s felt like CD meant you had to use that weird low res mocap video with 3D backgrounds
tbf going from 1.3 to 700mb storage was insane so people had a right to lose their minds

Oh yeah, no doubt. The leaps and bounds gaming made between 1990 and 2006 or so was totally insane to live through.

I honestly can't stop thinking about 90s shooters, it was fricking wild
1993 DOOM comes out and absolutely revolutionizes the genre.
The format stays the same with minor improvements. Blood and Duke 3D come in 96 and 97 respectively and although they are improvements, they are riffing on the same idea.
Then in 1997 Half Life and quake II drop. Full 3D enemies with much more advanced AI. Incredible environments and advanced physics. The fact Blood and HL1 came out a year apart blows my mind. It's like a whole decade went by.
The fact the 90s started out on the SNES and ended with the dreamcast is fricking bananas.

The joke is that the place is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed" which is clever in itself and quite funny to those with a mature sense of humour but what's really just hilarious about it is that if you look closely at the front of this store, Sneed's Feed & Seed, you can see a line that reads "Formerly Chuck's". Now, this might go over the average viewer's head as this, THIS, is peak comedy. I doubt anything will ever be as funny as the joke about Sneed's Feed & Seed. Are you ready for this one? So, like I said, the place is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed" and this sign says "Formerly Chuck's", which means that when Chuck owned the place, well, I don't have to tell you...
