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, and if he wins I give away a sticker!

The person with the most number of lots won, wins the episode!

• Personal Experiences

Fun Facts:

• The influence was drawn from late 1990s Japanese popular culture such as the rhythm game PaRappa the Rapper, and the anti-establishment themes in the film Fight Club.
• The team that made the Panzer Dragoon games.
• The development team consisted of fewer than 25 developers, with an average age of under 25.
• The game features graffiti by a variety of artists, including Eric Haze, who had designed album art for acts including the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy.
• They attempted to make the game impossible to duplicate on PlayStation 2 by pushing the Dreamcast limitations using bright colors, realistic shadows, and more than sixteen NPCs on-screen without lag that would have been impossible on PS2 due to its smaller memory.
• In North America, it was released on October 31 as Jet Grind Radio due to trademark problems for "Jet Set" in the United States at the time.

Questions

BintendoMan 

Question: I saw @Dan - RetroLogic mention his wife isn’t into gaming, with gaming seemingly a big part of your life how’s that work? Do you ever feel judged for it? Does she try? If this isn’t something you want to talk about on the pod I understand. Just curious the dynamic. And for the others on the pod how do their significant others do with their gaming hobby?

Outside of Limited run and boutique stuff.
