| Topic | Are video games expensive? |

I don't remember video game prices during the 90's as I was too young to know about the economy or the prices of our SNES, Genesis, and 5th gen games, but I think game prices were pretty unstable like they would either be decently priced or overly expensive, but I could be wrong (I need to research this thoroughly). It actually depended on the game back then, because most of the "hardware" was on the game cartridge itself, hence they could get pretty expensive. Something that was relatively simple could cost $40 - $50 (or $20 for "Player's Choice" versions) while something that required an FX chip (I.E. Starfox) or expanded memory (I.E. pretty much any JRPG) could be upwards of $80. And I agree that games back then needed to cost that much because cartridges were expensive. Nowadays though, not so much because physical media is cheep, and digital is even cheaper. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. ...
