whatevenarecats
I think everyone had that second VCR from the top
jeffyspazzin
Brought me back to the days of circling what I wanted for Christmas lol
buddyfriendguy
I need that memory card. My dad hid mine as punishment
BigCloggyPoos
You forgot the bra section.
Covey09
It's why gilf porn is so popular
angrybook
This was an excellent catalog for cranking it. If mom found it in your room you just showed her the circled video games as christmas ideas.
frowardd
buddy, none of us EVER forgot the bra section
forestfinagle
THAT'S PRIVATE
macandcheeseisafoodgroup
Oh my god I completely forgot about that abomination of a Nintendo controller
WellThatsOriginal
JC Penny was my first credit card.
ShudaWudaCuda
I can smell it.
dennydorko
Glad I wasn't the only one.
MrJackedBroccoli
This is what I came to say.
where2bee2
And now my local jc is 50 percent a sephora store
tomatoboy
I actually miss these. Slower, but you didn't have to wade through 20 different slightly differently named but identical products...
tomatoboy
...and another 20 that are off-brand versions made in the same factory, and another 50 that are fraudulent sellers.

Is JCPenny the American version of a British Argos?
Kgri5th
Used to be, sort of... They were more like Debenham's with a huge catalogue. Now they basically sell shit bedding and makeup.
AlltheAnswers
If a British Argos is/was a department store that carried a bit of everything, then yes.
DarkSock
Million dollar idea… Sell old catalogs for people to poop to…
misterwit
I'd buy a few. Just looking at that gameboy color and the VCR's takes me back.
assgardian
64MB of ram...yes.
raulote
You can still smell the pages
canibFrank
Is that dude's right hand radioactive? Why is it glowing?
somekindahuman
that's one expensive tv
AvsFreak
I worked at Circuit City from 99-2003. We got the first Philips flat screen in stock...$15,000. Only sold one. Got $300 comission for it
letuswatchtvinpeace
We were so poor that once the new catalogue came we cut the other one up for paper dolls
Grimmelda
I have one of those tvs ..its my only tv. Plays the wii pretty good.
Damngoodstuff
Are we all just gonna ignore that in 1999, JCPenny sold musical instruments?!
bananerbread
JC Penney used to sell EVERYTHING. House brand electronics, tools, you name it. Everything.

https://m.jcpenney.com/s/trumpet?Ntt=trumpet&searchType=Predictive%20Search They still do
ItsAlwaysstoutseason
Mail order only. Stores didn't sell a lot of that stuff in the 90's.
sexconker
Department stores are stores with various departments that sell various goods and services.
vowofloudness
Crazy right? http://www.jcpenney.com/g/musical-instruments/N-bwo3vDgn37rc
Damngoodstuff
Holy crap, they still do!
TrilobiteSushi
Back when music was actually taught to pretty much everyone in school and you had to pick an instrument.
QueenLaQueefa
Don't they still do that though??
TrilobiteSushi
Not any more, all 3 of the local school districts have not had music departments for some time now. MP3's are used instead for sports events
Gulch1969
I remember the smell of the paper
pacerefresh
More of this please

Couldn't peel it apart

I have that for when people full of shit complain about video games being expensive "nowadays."
AlexisWalker
Just FYI to anyone, on #3, item U is literally the best N64 controller ever. You can reach every button comfortably, + it has turbo buttons.
AlexisWalker
Also on #3, item T is a rumble pack for the N64 that has passthrough support for a save pack. So you can toggle between rumble and save mode
AlexisWalker
I have both, and my N64 experience could not be any better. I would strongly reccomend the combination to anyone who still loves the N64.
JustPeepin
The bathing suit & ladies underwear sections were my generations porn hub.
ThePhantomPooperNumberTwo
$140 for a discman?!? Holy hell! It couldn't even fit into my Jean jacket pockets.
The4ChanHacker
That's why you wore Jncos.
FlatPlutoSociety
Fully expected to see "Load 1,248 more images" at the bottom.
bootsinthebed
This was the shit right before Christmas
neonknight65
These were awesome but I can't live without instant product reviews.

The Spice Girls had a video game? Deer lord.
TotallyNotDitto
SeekingSomething
My sister used to play it. I wouldn't even call it a game really
ElbowDeepInAPsychoticBreak
I mean, I played DOA beach volleyball, and that was just like Barbie with extra steps. Still fun tho.
TheTallDutchDude
bioshockisagoodgame
I loved that game! Wish I could play it again

Where'd you dig this up?
AllisonJanneyGiraffe
Was in a friend's chair that they got from their grandma. Figured it was in there for support

And this was what we had to fap to before the internet got filled up to the brim with porn.

In regional Australia for gays it was the half page on mens undies from Target Country :)

Spiegel catalog was super slutty...

There was a time before internet porn? I always figured the first website was Grandma porn.

Once upon a time during the cold war, when computers were the size of warehouses, two scientists from across the country created the first >

AlexisWalker

ninjaoftheworld
Pictures of VCRs? You do you bro.
tygerpsimatrix
You ever turn the page one day and see the twin-deck VCR? Hnnnnnnngh!
BondHaimBond
How about first digital cameras with 1.5 inch display and 0.5 megapixels? That stuff was pure sex.
TkMacintosh
....I thought people also fapped to the computers there?
vigothecruel
No silly, we fapped to flutes and trumpets.
butternutsquashfarts
Really? I was always partial to film cameras. Damn sexy if I do say so myself.
