I remembered my mom buying the SNES for my sisters and I for Christmas for $200.  I had no idea that the NEO-GEO cost that much back then.  Holy wow! 

US$600 plus for the system and the Games cost $200-US$250 each because they were exact same as the NEO-GEO MVS arcade Carts. 

Holy CRAP!!  Who could afford that system plus games back then?  The family had to be rich or well off it would seem.
