For example, let's take that statement in reference to what $20 was back in 1992. According to inflation data relating to the CPI, $20 in 1992 is worth $45 in 2024. But that's not the only metric because we have other standards of value. For example, there's commodities. The price of gold in 1992 was $750 an ounce, and is currently worth $2,700 in 2024. Applying that to the game's "standard", that $20 should now be worth $72. But we also have silver in addition to gold, which cost $4 in 1992 (So five ounces worth equals $20) and has now grown to $30 (So that $20 is now worth $150). Meaning that you should "never" pay anything above of $150 for a single game.

But this could also be in relation to everything that came with the game as Monkey Island also came with a manual and a little "extra" toy. By today's standards, such content is reserved for "special edition" versions of games, meaning that everything that I just mentioned up above ONLY applies if you're buying the most complete package of a video game. And that a game lacking such content is worth a fraction of that price. I'd argue that you should reduce the price by a third if it's just the game and box (So $100), and probably reduce it all the way down to 25-33% the original price if it's just the game (So $35-$50).

But Monkey Island also launched for a price of $60 when it originally release. Meaning even LucasArts admitted that their game prices were "too damn high" and was worth only a third as much as they s

So how much is good old goy asking for a 40 year old computer game, that has to be run in emulator because basically nobody has a fucking Commodore 64 now.
Also they're pulling all the SSI Games, it's not just this one.
>>259993 (OP) 
Reminder that back then games were large boxed copies with giant fucking manuals and occasionally more shit where the dev/publisher got a much fucking smaller cut of the final sales price because of production and distribution costs. Nowadays they're all taking at least 70% of the digital sales price in their own pockets and are selling games in much larger quantities too.

The reason prices go up is because of fucking greed, bloated development, incompetent management, and more fucking greed. Not inflation.

It means to never pay more than $20 for a videogame.

4chan isn't coming back for at the very least 2 weeks, this is from the admins themselves so you'll be here a while.

Your daily reminders:
>Mark Mann owner of 8chan.moe/v/ is a jewish narcissist scumbag who has lied to everyone just to feed his ego. 
>Acidman (Cole Lamberson) admin of 8chan.moe, is a 53 year old fed collaborator who has IRL FBI friends and got anons arrested on multiple occasions and his site is a monitored honeypot just like 4chan was.
Both of these "people" are dark triad scumbags with massive inflated egos and they feed off of gullible idiots who foolishly worship them like they're actually worth more than dried shit. They will try to charm you with pretty words and champion themselves as heroes of free speech but they're just telling you what you want to hear because they're psychopathic manipulators through and through. Don't be a goy. You have been warned.

Okay, first off, if you find your life does not have any inherent purpose or meaning, that means you are free to decide for yourself what gives your life purpose or meaning, and that freedom is something that has its own value and meaning. Second, if you have problems with social skills, you need to work on improving that. Even when it comes to dealing with assholes and dimwits there are better and worse ways of handling interactions with them. You don't have to stick around for everything or respond to everything, but being able to maintain composure and extricate yourself from stupidity more gracefully also has its own merits, as does learning how to handle an argument without letting it get dragged into something stupid. Third, hitting the gym isn't a cure-all, but it usually does help with physical health, self-confidence, and happiness, so it's a decent booster to mental health also, especially as healthy mind in a health body is a very real phenomenon. >>>/fit/ can be some help there.

>Starfox (and other rail shooters
Not this idiocy again.  Star Fox and Rez are in two fundamentally different game genres.  Star Fox involves player avatar control in dodging hazards.  This makes it fundamentally like Gradius with one extra dimension, AKA a 3D shmup.  Actual rail shooters like Rez and most lightgun games do not, you're literally on rails and only concerning with aiming a gun at things, which is why they're called rail shooters.  Don't tell me to play Star Fox when I ask for more rail shooters, and don't tell me to play House of the Dead when I ask for more 3D shmups.

You can beat Bionicles on the PS2 in 1 hour. It's pretty bad, but not terrible.

If by DS game you mean Bionicle Heroes then you can get it on myabandonware. Heroes is quite fun and has a nice amount of replayability, played it last time around 15 years ago before today that is.
If you want to change the resolution then go to AppData/Local/EIDOS/BIONICLE Heroes  and just change the values in nuconfig.txt
Myabandonware also has other Bionicle games that I should check out.

>Masks Of Power
I completely forgot about that one, the development seems to be going as of now. Honestly speaking the game improved quite a lot since the early days. Fingers crossed it will get released.

I've played all the Bionicle games. Most people would probably agree Mata Nui Online is the best, but it's a point and click. As far as the action games go the best is this BIONICLE on GBA. Yeah the graphics and sound are both horrible, but it's actually a pretty decently functioning isometric platformer with interesting levels and some decent puzzles. The Toa's different abilities are actually interesting to play with (Gali water levels with slowed movement and more jump height, Lewa's gliding, etc). Kopaka's making ice blocks to jump on and slide on rails is by far the best level.
The combat is very lame with just auto aiming projectiles but it's still more interesting than the 2D platformers or the other auto aim shooters that don't really have movement mechanics.
As a kid, BIONICLE GBA took me a long time to figure out and beat with unlimited lives. It's actually a very fast game to breeze through if you know what to do, wheras the 2D GBA platformers feel like a bit more of a chore with slow movement and long but boring sections.
Unfortunately there's no save battery, instead there's a password system. But the horrible font has the same symbols for different characters, making it useless. I just left my GBASP plugged in the whole time. You also have limited lives for the whole game, so if you can't save, it's hard mode, but I honestly didn't mind that.
Seriously, I've gone back to play this ugly kusoge more often than any other Bionicle game.

I dont know how but it took me 116 hours to beat it. I only skipped the optional dungeon. Let me just tell you that it was a long fucking week of suffering playing that game. Just nonstop talking from the characters in different scenes and just when you think it will stop it just keeps going. Then you go into battle again and then you're in for a long fucking talking session again. Rinse and repeat for the whole fucking game. Theres like maybe 6 or so sex scenes (probably more it was like 2 years ago i beat it) and to even get a sex scene you need to conquer someone and that means a fuckton of battles and a fuckton of talking. I spent a week straight just fucking playing this shit and by the end of it i was pretty much mindbroken by how long and shitty it was. A week of nonstop fapping/sweating/boredom and just waiting for it to end. Another thing that bothered me was their faces. If you look at the cover art you can see how the faces are designed. Their chins are like triangely and pointy and it makes the characters look retarded. Look at this screencap i took from one of the faces in the cover. It looks like she has downs syndrome!
