A trip down memory lane

Just the other day at Yannie's house while setting up the ping pong table (which by the way, I held an embarassing 0-3 doubles record haha), we found an old school SNES game box of NHLPA Hockey '93...

Back when Chelios wasn't old, and The Russian Rocket was the star in Vancouver

Interesting to note, it's an NHLPA licensed based game, and nothing to do with the NHL. Which means EA didn't have the permission to use NHL based property and information such as team logos (note that there's no crest on the goalies jersey). However, the most interesting fact was discovering the price of this video game...

Holy cow, still $70 bucks a game back in the...wait, what the--EATON?!?

I can guess sometime in 1993, this was bought brand new. So in retrospect, the pricing of games hasn't changed nearly a decade later. One thing this discovery proved? There's a better chance a large retail department store will become defunct before the price of new video games will drop.
