>>534980673This is a good thing. Bloat that doesn't appreciate customers deserve to be axed. If you aren't making games in your spare time to take advantage of this phenomena, then that's your own loss.
>>534980673they made all the bread and circuses extremely gay and overtly hate white people so i really don't know what they expect other than people trying to find something outside the control of a certain rootless international clique to divert their attention towards

>>534980673>being stuck as a consolefag in 2026if anything there are too many pc games coming out at once consistentlyjust this fucking deluge of vibe coded shit, with a bunch of decent games buried under it all

>>534980673>but if they do that, there will be a civil war! ~ millions of people for decadesTwo options: you all have shit takes or they have been trying so fucking hard to get you to civil war and you are all too pussy to ever do it.I believe the latter is the case.
>>534980673Why doesn't the free market just lower prices?
>>534981479>older games are nice
Why do you need bread and circuses? Its not like you or anyone you know can do anything about the incoming surveillance state where you are reduced to a meat sack to train ai robots until you starve to death, who cares if you're happy about it or not, it's over!

AAA hasn't made a decent game in almost 20 yearsand nothing of value was lost
the entire entertainment industry has been completely dead since 2014 and subsisting off of subscriptions and outsourcing to the third world
>>534981411It seems like modern games are trying to skate on hype rather than quality and studios are being too safe with their stories except when it comes to leftist pandering. This oldie could never be made today because it would give girls and wannabe girls the ick

The truth is you never needed 200 people to make a videogame. Companies hired a bunch of lifetime losers to babysit them and pay them welfare money to do makework. These people should be cleaning houses or picking fruit or paving roads or, in the case with women, be mothers.95% of white collar workers should be picking up litter or putting up shingles on roofs.
>>534981727Devolver games said this was an issue 5 years ago. They said no one cares about games anymore just the hype cycle.
>women take over something>it dies
>>534982062World of warcraft was made by 80 autistic white men in 2004 and still the most technically advanced game ever made, trannies and homo's took it over and they have been riding off their greatness for 25 years and was recently sold to Microsoft for over 20+ billion
>>534981615That doesn't work anymore when both sides are clearly the same.
There is no need for games anymore.You will all be killed soon.
>>534982257saying "it doesn't work" implies anyone is doing shit about itwake me when that happens
>>534982066I think Devolver got fucked in the ass recently? can't remember the specifics but there was a major financial whoopsie
>>534982382I mean the illusion is gone. Voter turnout has fallen off a cliff in recent years.
>>534981576Because without bread and circuses the people will start planning rebellions.

sportsball isn't dying, is it?
>>534980673Its all the gayest and goysloppiest shit failing so its ok
>>534980673It’s crazy to me how gaming became so shit, when I was a child I always imagined the future games would be absolutely insane but alas thing never got than n64, GameCube, wii and Xbox 360 for me
>>534980673>PS5overpriced walled and woked garden shit for sure but I learned my 2020 pc is still going to beat steam machine TWO by 10 teraflopsSo yeah, it's bled over into every corner of vidya
>>534982732I agree with that but also if you play some of the "retro" stuff now with that tier of graphics, the mechanics and stuff are actually much deeper, because everything is more advanced than thenwith modding it gets ridiculous, the level of depth you can getalso, there's only so much you can really play any one game before you cant' really get anything out of it anymore
>>534982410The Croatians will just shit out another Serious Sam and they will be fine again
>>534982774>when I was a child I always imagined the future games would be absolutely insaneget on pc, I'm telling you, this is like a renaissance age for it with small devs
>>534982589No they won't. They're too atomized + surveillance state(s). They'll just arrest you the moment you look something questionable up. No, you won't get a trial. Your search history is equivalent to a sentence.
>>534981576Dude, even my government which is the largest in the world is only like 10 million when you add up all the LEOs and military. They are outnumbered by gun owners alone 10:1 and by population they are outnumbered 34:1. Even if all 10 million were navy seals I don't think they could average a 34:1 kill/death ratio. It's all about the numbers. When you actually break it down the majority of government employees are non combatants and there are always more veterans on the civilian side than active military. When I was in training back in my army days they told us the threshold was 5%. If 5% of any given population arms up and rebels they will overthrow their government, if the rebels are unarmed it goes to between 10-20%. It's literally all about numbers.
>>534980673It's just because Zoomers are just unemployed NEET losers and failure to launch fuckups at who can't afford to do any of that stuff.
>>534982953Why would they need to kill you with guns when they can just surveil you, starve you and blacklist you from financial services instead?

>>534982619Don't look up Genki, Bakky, and their scat JAVs. Let alone all of the "junior idol" and other legitimate forms of CP featuring real children. There was at least one of these scat videos released by a Western boutique shock label that deals in mondo gore type stuff. I stupidly chose to watch it out of curiosity, came out of it after feeling like I had just undergone a 10 hour goon sesh, just absolutely hollow, despairing and filthy-feeling. The women in these usually owe money to the yakuza or their family does and they get coerced into signing off on legitimate torture. A couple of highlights, or rather lowlights. She was covered in toilet paper, kneeling on the ground while a train of weedy, bucktooth bespectacled perverts proceed to diarrhea bukkake her while she does her best not to cry, looking completely dejected, abused, molested. Then they got a group of moon-faced jap bitches to abuse, slap, and finally stuffed her into a bag, shit all over her and rubbed it in her face and up her nose, and then vacuum sealed the bag and suffocated her in shit until she was desperately flailing to get out, only when the flailing stopped and she passed out did they break the seal and allow her air, slapping her hard to get her breathing again. The finale, she was tied up and hoisted upside down and below her was a septic tank vat of putrid shit that had been festering for who knows how long and she was dunked repeatedly into it, almost drowning her. By this point she looked completely defeated, as if her soul had been taken from her. And this is just one movie of one type of "fetish". Anyone who can jack off to this shit is certifiable and both them and the absolutely deranged, women-hating faggot pindick gookfucks who come up with it and film it, need to be buried underneath the prison. Wapanese losers simp for these fucking bug incel freaks while having no pride in the achievements of White Civilization and what their forefathers built. It's pathetic.
>>534983134Depends, from what era or generation of gaming?
>>534981735Yes>dodged
>>534980673It's the industry's own fault for constantly trying to make the green arrow go upperer and getting caught in a cycle of spending a several years and the budget of a small country on some absolutely derivative trash.
>>534983154What does that have to do with videogames, you mentally ill retard?
>>534983132We don't have to imagine, it's our confirmed future thanks to Palantir
Basic necessities aren't expensive. Ten pounds of potatoes was less than 5 bucks, a head of cabbage a buck 80, two pounds of carrots about the same as cabbage, 3 pounds of onions 3 dollars and 10 pounds of chicken leg quarters 5 dollars and 50 cents. Rice 97c a pound. Small red beans dry 1 dollar abd 57 cents a pound. 1 cup rice 2 cups water yield 3 cups rice. That is pounds of food to make many varying things and many meals for a good while. When you say basic necessity exactly what do you mean because I know what it means to me.
>>534980988Just stop buying triple A.Those fuckers dont deserve your money.Lots of indie developers are making great stuff for far less.
Golden Age, you lost gentile
>>534982810>I agree with that but also if you play some of the "retro" stuff now with that tier of graphics, the mechanics and stuff are actually much deeperCRTs are just such a shitty form of technology that when you play retro games on them, you can't see how shitty the graphics are. It's not better, it's just stacking so many layers of shittiness that everything blurs together. The retro gaming fags who buy old Trinitons and insist that it's so much better are just like the Zoomtards buying cassette tapes. It's not better, it's objectively technically inferior in every way, you just think it's cool because it's old and different and you think it will make you seem cool for liking it. But CRTs and cassette tapes were always shitty forms of technology, and the reason they went away is because everyone gladly tossed them and replaced them with objectively superior technology as soon as it was available.
>>534983339Good luck defending yourself against millions of angry gun owners WITH NOTHING TO LOSEYou Aussies fucked up big time when you fell for the Port Arthur psyop
Atari 2600 games were coded by one guy in a couple of weeks. Probably the same guy did all the testing and debugging as well. Now it takes 4 or 5 years, a team of hundreds, and a half billion dollars to make a game. That's not a sustainable future for the gaming industry. The games are just plain too big.

>>534983278Absolutely, There is such a thing as too big. I stopped playing San Andreas when I got tired of driving for 20 minutes to get from one side of the sandbox to the other. Some people like that, I thought it was bullshit. I don't need a game that big.
>>534983447>CRTs are just such a shitty form of technologynigger who said anything about crts, I hated lugging them bitches around and ditched them for flatscreens like 20 years agothat's not what I mean by "retro" I mean shit intentionally using older style 16-32 bit graphics, just with modern mechanics abilities
>>534980673Imagine making a game you want to play instead of what a filthy stinking salmon hole cunt wants to play.ai will bring us back
>>534980673I've bought like 2 games in the last 5 years, BG3 and Silksong. Gaming has been on a downward slope for a long time.
>>534981545Video games have gotten cheaper when you factor for inflation. When Super Mario Bros was released in 1985, it was $60. That would be the equivalent of something costing approximately $184 today. So the fact that video games are only just now start long to increase from $60 to $70-$80 means they are still well below what they should cost if they had kept up with inflation.My point being that everyone wants to claim game companies are greedy, but if that were the case, you'd be paying $200 for a game, not $80.
>>534983447You are 100% correct. Most excellent posting.
>>534983150>Why the fuck is it bad if the same (or better) game can be made with fewer people on a shorter timeline?It's not, if that was what was going to happen. But that isn't what will happen.Instead, we will just have a billion jeets and retards churning out infinite amounts of vibe coded slop games.
>>534983689Honestly I'd love to have an original NES and play the original Super Mario Bros
>>534980673They purposefully inflated fast food and junk food because jewesses want less fat boys to groom, and for entertainment they try to subsidize it to placate and propagandize but people are tired of niggers and kikes and trannies even other niggers and trannies. So a mix of purposefully killing off some of these and being too incompetent to change hearts and minds and tastes and accidentally killing off the others.
>>534982014You're playing Starfield again, right anon? Todd worked very hard to release the Terran Armada DLC last month and would appreciate it if you spent some Toddbux on some verified creator creations.

Consumers would become even more hesitant to make a purchase which means even fewer games would be produced and worse yet for the companies producing consumers would wait a long time to purchase to make sure they got their moneys worth.
>>534982764>sportsball isn't dying, is it?No, it's only boomer more and more. Primary reason in my opinion is due to movies and TV being so painful to watch nowadays, movies/tv are designed like struggle sessions, especially if you have an autist brain and pick up on all the subversive propaganda, it is physically painful to watch modern movies and tv, watching someone throw a ball around is 1,000x more entertaining
>>534983689The price of everything else has gone up, so no, they're not cheaper. People have less disposable income now, so less money to waste on entertainment.
>>534983543No one will have to make you, the system will starve you
>>534983621>using older style 16-32 bit graphics, just with modern mechanics abilitiesExamples?I played "Replaced" the other day because it was free on gamepass and looked cool and lots of people were hyping it up. I guess they were trying to make a modern retro style cyberpunk theme sidescroller/platformer type game. And it did look pretty good aesthetically, but I quickly got bored because most of the game was just holding down the right arrow and occasionally jumping and fighting.
>>534984054Yeah honestly if you already have a large library you are good to go and honestly you can go for a couple years without buying games unless you absolutely want to
>>534983689This is the same argument redditfags have been making forever, you keep forgetting that 90's games came with an ENTIRE ASS COMPUTER in a fucking cartridge + hard case + 60 page booklet + Complete, non-buggy game, you stupid faggot. For $80 today you get the base game that is buggy, in digital format, with a DLC merchant shop attached
>>534983447I can attest that I've listened to music that sounded way better on cassette than on CD, I have no idea why, it was Time Life's Classical Thunder series. Maybe it was recorded from the tape to the CD? Idk
>>534980673How could gaming crash with such amazing designs as this? >>534983134I can count the good games released in the last decade on one hand.
>>534980673Literally the touch grass economy
>>534984186So you exclusively play AAA slop? No wonder you hate games.
>>534983887You're missing the point. The point is that everyone wants to complain that "gaming is so expensive" when it really isn't. At least not when you adjust for inflation. When you factor in inflation, gaming has actually gotten cheaper over the years. And consumer resistance to attempts by gaming companies to increase prices is what led to things like paid DLC, micro transactions and loot boxes. Companies were starting to lose money on that $60 price point, so they had to do something to make games profitable again. But since everyone threw a little bitch fit over DLC and micro transactions, now game companies are just starting to increase prices of the games themselves whether consumers resist it or not.In my opinion, when people complain about gaming getting more expensive, what they are really complaining about is that they have gotten poorer but are ashamed to admit it openly.
>>534980673It has been taken by the same kikes that destroyed hollywood. What did you expect?
>>534984073Give me and millions with nothing to lose, do it bitch.
>>534984054That doesn't mean gaming got more expensive, it just means people have gotten poorer. Those are not the same thing.
>>534983134
>>534980673The public is being intentionally looted and financially squeezed. It’s a consumer economy but most don’t have much of a discretionary income. They give jobs to foreigners but Americans need those jobs to meaningfully participate in the economy. Foreigners send a portion back home. Indians get special govt loans, own every gas station and convenience store. Students graduate without a clear path to a job. All of this is by design.
>>534984317price point is not the issue, making FAGGOT QUEER HOMOSEXUAL GAMES is what killed the Western gaming industry. Japanese gaming studios are booming more than ever, they are raking in cash while Western game devs have to deal with politics since every female in the office wants to put some dyke or nigger in the game to ruin immersion.90% of men DO NOT want to play as female characters yet they keep shoving that bullshit, and act surprised when nobody buys it.
>>534984356But it did, nigger. Games cost $80 now and are full of greedy live service bullshit that didn't exist back then.
>>534984078stuff along these lineshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/211820/Starbound/https://store.steampowered.com/app/599140/Graveyard_Keeper/
>>534980673That'll teach them the consequences of allowing their industry to become a mouthpiece for liberal propaganda. You have one job and one job only, and that is to entertain ME. The consumer. If you can't do it then you're certainly not getting my 70$
Why couldn't they just leave video games alone?
>>534984096>Complete, non-buggy gameYou either weren't alive in the 90s or you're viewing things with rose-tinted glasses. Games back in the 90s were buggy and glitchy as hell. The fact that you think otherwise delegitimizes every other opinion you have on this topic.
>>534980673ACTORS are rats..Never go the pictures to watch a movie because the spread poison in the picture house so you get sick..a true fact..ANTHRAX.
>>534984317they were definitely not losing money on 60 dollars, when they switched from physical to digital in like 2014 they actually cut all the warehousing, manufacturing and middlemen out and started making 100% more per game. No, you've been living in a dream, the price hike was nothing but pure greed, they haven't delivered a title since worth 60 dollars, and they can complain to their jew friends about inflation
>>534984325It's happening now so you won't have long to wait, and there is nothing you'll be able to do once it is motion
>>534984182>music that sounded way better on cassette than on CD, I have no idea whyThere are a million reasons why you might have subjectively preferred listening to it on cassette, in the same way that some people who like listening to rap or EDM will prefer headphones or speakers that are extremely bass heavy, or how some people preferred masters from the "loudness war" era, when they crushed the fuck out of the dynamic range so songs would sound "louder.">Maybe it was recorded from the tape to the CD?It's technically possible that the original recordings and mastering were on tape, but those reel to reel tapes had nothing in common with ordinary cassette tapes other than they both involved magnetic tape. 1/2" wide reel to reel tapes moving at 30 inches per second vs 1/8" wide casette tapes at less than 2" per second.
>>534984437I had NES>Genesis>N64 and played the shit out of it in the 90's, I was a kid so I didn't notice any bugs. Also, don't count all that crazy shit modern day gamers are doing in games like Mario Kart 64, these tranny speedrunners spend years discovering some crazy glitch, that's not a bug
>>534984431why do they not understand escapism, these chicks bitching don't even fucking play gamesnobody in a fucking wheelchair wants their self insert escapism character in a fucking wheelchair, why do they want to be reminded they're in onefucking retardedwhy do they want to see themselves as some slightly less cottage cheese infested tub of shit
>>534984317It feels more expensive with everything else going up in price and the quality being fucking worse doesn't help either.Between 1985 and arguably 2013 (before 8th gen came out), you generally got your money's worth in games and you had a relatively decent economy to boot, cost of living was reasonable, and the games at worst had optional DLC and no predatory shit, now we are in the 9th gen, most games suck ass and just nickel, dime, and in some cases ask for your fucking ID, and the cost of living is absolutely wack>>534984391And this is going to bite them in the ass
>>534980673good. we'll be generating our own games soon, without the globohomo slop middlemen
>>534984539>there is nothing you'll be able to do once it is motionPeople have lived through many rough times, and found ways to survive, thrive, and be entertained
>>534984511>they actually cut all the warehousing, manufacturing and middlemen outAnd all those costs were replaced by the cost to maintain digital infrastructure to allow for games to be distributed digitally. And the middle man definitely wasn't cut out. What do you think Steam is? They are a middle man. Same for Xbox and Sony's digital stores. They are middle men preventing the consumer from buying directly from the developer/publisher and they take a cut of each sale. That is the very definition of a middle man.
>>534984511>>534984720Lets not forget that Microsoft and especially Sony have gotten really jewish about their digital games.Remember when Sony recently almost made everyone think that they had to check in their games online every 30 days? And then after caving they had to make a statement to cover their asses?
>>534984275Basically all Indie games are terrible too. The only good games released in the last decade are Kenshi, Colony Ship, Hotline Miami 2, and maybe Dusk, but that's really stretching it to get a forth game. These one guy projects aren't even very good. Chris Hunt is a genius, but the soundtrack sucks, the graphics are basic, and a lot of the game's features are half baked. The interiors are barebones, and while locations like Cat Lon's Exile are cool, a lot of even the high tier locations boil down to the same building multiple times with similar enemies. I don't hate games, I just hate the bad ones, and they're all bad these days.

>>534984694They found a way to survive, thrive and be entertained because the perfect prison planet tech system hadn't been designed yet. This it the end, there is no saving anyone at this point.
>>534981903Steam had 25k games released last year, so I know what you mean, but we get high quality indies in a vast variety of genres and they're usually like $13-$30, well optimized, and small install sizes. I honestly can't imagine being stuck on consoles for the past decade. For sure once you got to the PS4 era it's been a straight winning streak for PC ever since. Some minor general boat rocks, but still plenty'o good to eat. This hardware squeeze is going to make optimization more important too

>>534980673>Video games = dyingKinda, you went from studios consisting of different forms of developer also being able to design putting together things as a small group which is the classical approach people bring up.To those guys having effectively hundreds of mindless laborers making things for them while they design and lay framework which is the old modern state of AAA development.And now those guys having the laborers replaced with AI to save money, and time.

>>534984457Yeah not watching movies used to make you really creepy/boring, but everything is so bad now nobody cares anymore. I still have a couple friends that only talk about some random actor and their faggot shenanigans, but pretty much everyone responds with "damn that's crazy, anyways...". Pretty crazy to think that in a single decade movies went from the most important thing you could know culturally if you're trying to make yourself interesting, to the most boring thing you could know. All you jews had to do is make like 1 good movie per year that's it, and the goyim would fall in line, but they can't even do that so they pay the price.
>>534983689So the thing with less economy of scale was more expensive? Really?Games used to come in big boxes too, with manuals and other goodies. They saved shitloads with the switch to bare bones DVD boxes. Then shitloads more with digital distribution. And they still want to shove 20 DLCs and a microtransaction into your ass at every step. Not to mention the politicizing nobody asked for.

Genocide is the only solution to the Hindu rape rat problem folks.

>>534980673Of course it is, only little "indie" games are being spun up with larger studies pumping out half finished games compatible with microtransactions to buy the rest of the game as developers finish it before eventually suiciding the development team and game studio.>By the way that will be $100 no disc, you must be connected to the internet constantly (why?), you will own nothing when the console becomes outdated, and guess what?

>>534984096>you keep forgetting that 90's games came with an ENTIRE ASS COMPUTER No, you had to pay for the console to play those games too.When the original NES was released in 1985, the deluxe launch package was $199 and then the regular bundle with Super Mario Bros was $149. Adjusted for inflation, the NES cost the equivalent of $475-630. And back in the '80s each game already cost $40-50 each, which is equivalent to $125-150 today.>in a fucking cartridge Cartridges SUCKED. >hard case Most cartridge games didn't come with a hard case, just a flimsy paper/cardboard box or sleeve that usually got immediately thrown away. I think some of the portable game systems like GameBoy and GameGear had basic plastic cases for the games, but the only cartridge based home console system that actually sold games in hard plastic clamshell cases was Sega Genesis. I don't think even N64 had plastic cases. The plastic cases came with the switch from cartridges to optical discs.>CompleteWell, yeah, because you couldn't update cartridge games even if you wanted to. In the earlier generations, you couldn't even save games, they were purely ROM.>non-buggy gameLOL, those games were full of bugs, and people are still finding new bugs all the time 40 years later.

>>534980673no, the video game industry is not crashing. indie developers are at historic highs while AAA studios are at historic lows. the bureaucratic studios are crashing. they have only been caring about graphics for the past 10-15 years while not building any positive gameloops for the player and indie developers are doing this. they are blowing them out of the water. graphics reached its peak twenty years ago and today the indie developer has access to same graphical tools closing the graphic department gap. as a single person i can open up blender and make any asset and animation without dozens of meetings and i can open up my editor of choice and start creating a fun gameplay loop. the most important distinction is that indie developers are players first and foremost. they know what to do to make a good video game for the player. AAA studios dont hire the players that matter and they cant make a video game that is fun for the player. they only care if you have a certificate from a college and bureaucracy does not translate to fun. i am writing this as an indie developer with a college degree before one of you rabid animals starts coping and accusing me of something. go fuck yourself and God bless
>>534986078i gotta get my shapes

>>534986666I am trying to be optimistic
>>534987143The end of all entertainment is upon us, how could one be optimistic?
>>534981671You say that, but the Forza horizon devs keep making bangers. There isn't much else good coming out of AAA though, to be fair.
>>534980673AAA industry is crashing and that's a good thing, Indie and AA scene is doing better than ever
The real answer is kikes, women and niggers have subverted all of these things that used to be great and now gatekeep so only other toxic kikes, women and niggers can get in those industries or have any effect on them. So of course they're going to be shit and collapse since they're being run and created by kikes, women and niggers.
https://youtu.be/qA7GNRpye9o?
>>534982066It's more that the games these devs keep shitting out are garbage, the hype is botted/paid for, and it all collapses once the games are out and people can see how unpolished the games are, even after all the updates and DLC schedules are done.
>>534983154sounds like that was made for the indian market, because even boomers are averse to shit.

>>534984437Anon the minor bugs and glitches in old games weren't nearly as pervasive as the bugs nowadays, ESPECIALLY game breaking bugs. Usually to get the most game breaking bugs to trigger you had to do weird autistic speedrunner nonsense that breaks multiple game systems to shave a fraction of a second off of their run. It's nothing like modern games which ship on release(after delaying for years in some cases) with broken systems and features, memory leaks, game breaking bugs, terrible netcode, etc.

>>534980673The video game industry crashing is more than welcome, the retards are reaping the rewards of spending literal billions on DEI and Covid development slop when literally everyone, even leftists don't want anything to do with it.

>>534990130>CheersLove it
Businesses are unwilling to pay and hire. I was turned down yesterday 'even though I have a good attitude' because they 'want more experience'. You can't get experience if the business needs to hire you to give you the experience. We're reaching a point where all the 200k a year HR ladies and overpaid millennial SWEs are being laid off in favor of jeets in india. Most millennials, outside of larpers, never managed to get the magic '300k a year per household' income needed to make it in modern society over the lst 20 years.They wouldn't hire us, train us, pay us enough to live and boomers are dying off so there is no middle class to afford all their slop anymore, leading to out of touch billionaire ceos to woner why people won't pay 10 bucks for a cup of coffee.Womp womp.
>>534980673I am just playing old games Halo 1 right now and dominating the 70% noob player base online these days. I shit you not I am now one of the top 10 people on earth playing Halo 1 I could give a fuck about new trannie millennial made shit

>>534990487The shootouts with humans at the end was actually pretty fun. They should have sprinkled more of that in and have the ai fighting the machine gun zombies too. Total chaos.
>>534981411Not only that but anything released in the last 10 years has graphics that are good enough. It means the game released 10 years ago that's still getting updates is now infinitely better than any brand new game released chasing graphical fidelity but missing a decade worth of content.

>>534983689Does no one google shit anymore on this basket weaving forum or are you all bots and children who werent there?>How much did Super Mario Bros. originally cost?Super Mario Bros. for the NES typically retailed for approximately $25 to $30 in the US when it was released in 1985–1986. It was rarely sold alone early on, as it was usually included as a bundled "pack-in" game with the purchase of the NES console, which cost about $90–$100 in the mid-1980s. Original Release Details (1985-1986) Retail Cartridge Price: Advertisements from late 1985 show the game priced around $25, or roughly $24.99. Bundle Value: The game was famously bundled with the "Control Deck" (1986) or the "Deluxe Set" (1985) for the console, meaning many players received it as part of the initial $89.99–$100 console purchase.
