This is pretty awesome. I worked at Funco in November of 1995 so I'm remembering some of these games and their prices. Special commission for every copy of Genesis Monopoly that you sell, Mike! Gotta get those numbers, Mike! DON'T YOU WANT A FUCKING PIZZA PARTY AT THE END OF THE MONTH MIIIIIKEEE!!?!?!

But..did you get the pizza party? And if so, how many copies of Monopoly for the Genesis did you push on unsuspecting kids in order to earn that pizza? :)

Well I got my then-girlfriend a copy of Monopoly (she actually wanted it) so I guess that was one point in my favor but if there was a pizza party I never got to enjoy it because I quit the job over anxiety of the upsell pressure, lol.

So the true pizza party was the friends you made along the way? Ah, I should have seen it coming. :)

Nah, screw those people! The true pizza party was the copy of Chrono Trigger that I got from that store.
