Yeah, SNES games also had more expensive co-processors in them later in its life. Super-FX1 and 2, those chips the Mega Man X games used, etc. Sometimes it jacked the prices up, other times it didn't. I got MMX2 for $45. I specifically remember it because when the clerk at the LOCAL game shop (remember those?) told me over the phone I shouted "Jesus!" and my mom, listening in, about washed my mouth out with soap. But yeah, the kiddies whining about prices today have no idea what it was like in the golden days...whining to mom and dad for a new game, or saving up months of spare allowance.
Steam sales kind of ruin the magic of opening up the box on the way home and the smell of a brand new manual, etc.
