It is interesting, however, how those old games are emotionally worth as much as new ones, even more.
If we think about value equivalent, though, then 30$ for a game would be like 5 times more than a license copy in a bookstore in Moscow 20 years ago.
I miss those bookstore game stands very much, it's as if someone were carefully making a selection of the best things, I may not have played all of the games I've seen there, but any name I can remember is golden. I suppose bookstores attract a particular kind of employees. Would. Back then.
Anyway, I agree the games from that time are still good. Could we please resurrect all other good things about that ecosystem? Thought so.
