You're right. Just thinking back now, I got SMB2 for my 10th birthday and it was $45 at the now defunct Child World store chain.Johnas said:Yep.
I definitely remember paying more than $29.99 for the average NES game though...

It was a construction set that came with 9 different fantasy tiles you could place on 3 different screens to make your own "adventure game". It came with a 300 baud modem that hooked into one of the controller ports so you could share your creations with others.

Then there were all the Square Super Famicom games that sold for 11,400 yen. Everything from Final Fantasy VI on. Final Fantasy V era games being 9,800 yen wasn't much better, either.Ilchymis said:I think the SNES days were the heyday for outrageous prices, especially when you look at them adjusted for inflation.
Earthbound (1995) - $69.99 = $97.22 in 2008 dollars
Street Fighter II (various iterations) - $69.99 between $97.22 and $102.54
Chrono Trigger (1995) - $79.99 = $111.11 in 2008
Them shits were outrageous!
