Interesting anecdote about video game pricing (okay…I realize interesting is wholly subjective…maybe not interesting)

Part of it is that the customer base has grown, meaning you have a lot more

Interesting. What does AAA mean? Even at $69.99…still a bargain relative to what they cost 30 years ago. Almost 1/2.

Here's an ad from 1990 with SMB 3 for $45. That's $110 in 2024 dollars.

It had cheat codes loaded in it. It would nerf games. You connect it to the game

That’s interesting. It shows TSB for $53.99 but it didn’t even come out until December of 1991. I think I bought it in

I was buying PC games all the time for $25-40 in the 90s. Game magazines would carry advertising spreads of shops
