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? 

Estons’ list

Dan’s list

Sam’s list

Oops’s list

Flightsy’s list

“Spot the fake game”

“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.”

Check out the Price Is Retro Database at Retrologic.games, we’ll be having Flightsy on an episode coming up to talk PiR stats!

I'm still sad the world of warcraft basically killed regular Warcraft.

I would have loved to get more RTS games in that series.

I’m a dyed in the wool WoW fan, my dad and I beta tested that game. Played religiously for YEARS, finally dropped off after Pandaria.

When it comes to legacy content, I actually think WoW should get more credit. WoW Classic is such a cool idea and it’s bundled with the subscription you already have.

 

oops —

With the popular WoW classic do you think we will see more of this for other online games?

CCQ: So about that Nintendo direct…. How has the direct changed your financial plans this year?  What are you most and least excited about?  What is your hottest take about the direct?

 

 

Flightsy —

CCQ:  I guess it’s also Valentine’s Day, so here’s another question:  is Valentine’s Day a real holiday?
