You ever heard something on the lines of "my computer has not enough horsepower to run Crysis at maximum settings"? That's what many call a metaphore, and a well-known one at that.
You earned yourself an obnoxious "well, actually" trollcat :)
Conscious of the irony of this post in a crusade against useless, derailing nitpicking.
Staying on-topic: yeah, I remember the NeoGeo and its cartridges and I remember paying a lot of money for my first home computers as a kid in '82-'83... in the range of $800 if inflation-adjusted, I guess.
But times have changed and such adjustments don't make sense per se without a context: the perception of price depends a lot on competing offers and value proposition.
