While the nominal cost of games may be higher, the real cost is often lower.

A $40 game from near the end of the classic era (1982) would be $85 in 2007.

And some SNES games (e.g., Chrono Trigger) were $70 or more at the end (1995), which would be $94 in 2007.

But a $50 game at the beginning of the last generation (2001) would only be $58 in 2007 -- so there is some "profit-taking" (and some additional expenses).

I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
