Argos - book of dreams.

Ho, hoe, whore :o

Still got some stuff from the 80s at the family home; yeah, mostly garbage, like those small ornamental clocks nobody ever looks at. Dunno if my gameboy (late 90s) was bought from them but I'll assume it was, so that was nice.
 
I bought a GameBoy Pocket at Argos mid to late 90s but recently sold it. :(

Last thing I bought from Argos was a cheap mattress and that was more for convenience purposes not from drooling over...
 
On cost of games- can remember when Virtua Racing for the Mega Drive retailed at £69.99 (!!!). It came out in 1994, and had extra processing hardware on the cartridge to help with the graphics.

Games were regularly £45/50 at release, which was a lot at the time. The used market seemed booming though. As a kid, don’t think many of my Mega Drive games were new.
 
Saw the Sega Game Gear in the 93" catalogue, remember playing a game on that where you was like a caveman and you had to pick up large boulders and rocks, can't remember the name of the game but it was good fun.
 
Damn, I wanted to look something up from the mid 80s but this now just links to the Argos site :(
 
Argos isn't the same since Sainsburys took over. Still have a standalone branch in my town but they never have any catalogues in.
