If you were wondering how much Ryo makes on his first day of work (Which happens to be the most he makes there, as the work gets harder and you actually lose money when you get raises), first

Convert the value of the December 1986 Yen to the December 1986 US Dollar with the first site.

Then convert the 1986 US dollar to the 2012 US Dollar using the inflation calculator.... This way it's perfectly accurate.

And now for a hard days work driving a forklift at the Amihama Harbor, Ryo takes home........

$74 dollars (I believe 6000 yen is his highest but I may be off). Not bad, although throughout the week his "raises" combined with less crates carried means he is actually losing money for his hard work not being rewarded.

Just thought it was interesting to see how much money Ryo actually has to our present American standards. At one point he had like 10800 in one of my files which comes out to be about 137 bucks for today.

Which he will then blow on capsule toys,arcade games,and soda pop.

[Fenix]

That's enough to spend it with capsule toys.

He doesn't need a new house or a car. He's living in a fucking cave during last 10 years

Hey that's a good idea. No rent or house payment, wildlife to eat, fire to keep him warm, shelter from the rain and other elements, and Shenhua by his side. Ryo has it good besides not being in touch with civilization anymore which some would consider a good thing.

I've completed work assignments after the first day completely, so I don't think you necessarily lose money every day.

Why even try to figure something out like that? The time us gamers and any nerd spends on pointless little facts in fiction could be better spent curing fucking cancer. NO not any cancer. Fucking cancer.

Now excuse me someone just said Star Trek has only 78 episodes when it's really 79. Moron

Chill out. In case you haven't noticed, a ton of things in life could be given up for cancer research. Like time spent on every single TV show/movie/video game and their budgets, and any extra spending money the typical or atypical citizen of the world has.

I know you're bored of talking Shenmue, but no reason to RAG3 on anyone who still wants to share a simple thought on it. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, so it's not a strange issue to me either. But not every waking moment and spare cent has to be spent that way, or else life would be fun for nobody.

In you you didn't notice it was a joke mocking myself and fellow nerds. I'm always into fictional facts.My head is filled with em

[Supa]

Fair enough, guess I didn't see the smileys before your edit.

For anyone counting, that's at least one post I put thought into.

My mom survived cancer also. The week she got out of the hospital after breast cancer and surgery she did very physical play. Cancer isn't a sore spot with her or me. I was just joking around how passionate us geeks get about things we love and your big reaction just proved the point.

[Supa]

Fair enough, and it isn't a sore spot either.

You know, we always talk on and on about how much discussion there is about this game on here, and although it doesn't match what we had years back, it is truly surprising that to this day, over ten years since the original came out, we are still finding new things to talk about. I don't think many game communities can claim that.

This place is special for many reasons. that being one.
