The price is RETRO

 

How to play: I’m going to list off 4-5 games. You’re going to guess how much the games are worth in total, dollars and cents. Whoever is closest to guessing the actual price of the lot, wins that lot. Everyone has a list, and everyone guesses. The “ghost” always guesses $300

New Rule! Starting now. The overall winner is NOT determined by how close you are to guessing. The winner is now the person who got the closest the most number of times. And we’ll use closest by dollar amount as a tie breaker. Capiche?

“Blank-o-pedia” “I’m going to start reading the description of a game from wikipedia. As soon as you think you know, hit your buzzer, and I’ll let you guess. If you’re wrong I’m giving the other person an opportunity to guess. If you’re both wrong I’ll keep reading until someone else buzzez in.”

Community Couch Questions:

InfiniteBlue — 01/01/2022 Now that the year is 2022, the Xbox 360 is three years away from being 20 years old. What's a gaming fact that makes you feel old?

Flightsy — Yesterday at 10:30 AM Community Couch question to go with my Spot the Fake list: Have you ever played any fan games or ROM hacks? I have fond memories of playing Mario fan games on the computer at school, right along with Cool-Math Games. There were some super good ones, like Super Mario 63, but most were really bad. A lot of them used the Super Mario All-Star sprites (the ones used for SMB and Lost Levels), which I believe has actually ruined the art style for me! However, those were just browser games. I haven’t really played many ROM Hacks, but looking at them they seem really cool.
