As for the game consoles I had Commodore 64, Nes and N64 before I went to computers haven't owned another console since nor do I want one.
$700 for a 33 gal kit sounds high. I was selling these basic kits at a LFS in Halifax in '98 for less than $200 (no stand). I wonder if there was a 'lack of local competition' in your neck of the woods in '98
