1. Macintosh Computer - $2400 Media Source While the look of the Macs may have changed over the years, the prices sure haven't. And the modern ones don't even come with a digital answering machine anymore!


2. Nintendo 64 - $200 Media Source This may just be the nostalgia talking here, but I'd be willing to pay $200 for a new N64 today, let alone in 1996. Anyone got a time machine? Let's-a go.


3. 1.2GB Hard Drive - $220 (After Rebate) Media Source With this much free hard drive space, you should just have enough capacity to download Angry Birds.


4. Motorola Flip Phone - Free! (With Contract) Media Source Wait, these are cell phones that are used primarily as... phones?! Who needs one of those?


5. Sega Saturn - $200 Media Source Never before has a newspaper ad scan from 1996 made me shout aloud, "NO! Don't do it!" My condolences to anyone whose parents bought a Sega Saturn back in the day.


6. Walkman - $15 thru $60 Media Source Back in high school in 1996, only the coolest of the cool had Walkmen. Today, those same people still have them, only they're not so cool anymore.


7. 4 MB Memory Upgrade - $30 Media Source At these Best Buy 1996 prices, a gigabyte of memory would've run you a little over $8000. Of course, at today's Best Buy, they only charge you $6000 for that (plus cost of protection plan).


8. Super Game Boy - $40 Media Source "At last," children everywhere rejoiced, "a way to play low-resolution, black-and-white Game Boy games on my full-screen color television!" (The 90's were a strange time.)


9. 28.8 Kbps Modem - $280 Media Source Back in 1996, if your computer was making horrible hissing, screeching noises, it wasn't cause for concern. It just meant that you were connecting to the Internet.


10. 13-Inch TV with Built-In VCR - $300 Media Source Three hundred dollars?! These days, you'd have to pay me to take a VCR into my home.


11. Desktop Computer - $1467 (After Rebate) Media Source While the specs on this bad boy aren't too impressive today, remember that the Internet back then consisted entirely as a single AOL chat room. A/S/L check, anyone?


12. PlayStation Games - $48 Media Source I love the Madden games! My only question: Who's that old guy on the cover?


13. CD Rom Drive - $150 Media Source You know how much a CD-Rom drive would cost you today? I couldn't tell you. No store's managed to sell a single one since at least the early 2000's.


14. Pagers - $70 Media Source These pagers can hold a total of 30 messages, but you should only expect to ever receive one: "Thank you for the purchase of your new pager!"


15. Gold Tamagotchi - $15 Media Source Look at that picture. Even the Tamagotchi realized that this fad was a steaming pile of... well, you know.
