What's a game worth nowadays?

Us Canadians pay $80 for games, so it is different for us. I rarely buy at launch anymore, as I've just been burned too many times (AC: Unity for example).

You don't by any chance have any knowledge of historical sticker prices in Canada, do you? The reason I've only ever made a price chart for the U.S. is because of the lack of information on pricing outside the U.S. There's plenty of scans of old Sears and EB catalogs to find U.S. pricing information, but nothing similar for elsewhere.

Oh yeah, one big reason N64 was my secondary console that gen. PS1 games were ridiculously cheap in comparison, usually $20-40.

The N64 was my primary, but mainly because it had the majority of the games that interested me at the time. The N64 and PS1 were the first big purchases I made after getting my first job back in 1998, but ultimately I ended up buying maybe four or five PS1 games vs. at least a dozen N64 games (I would have bought more for both systems, but lack of funds forced me to rent a lot of games). And honestly, I probably would have never bought a PS1 had FFVII not been exclusive to it.

I wasn't really into gaming until around 2012, but games were $60 CAD back then. They started going up as our dollar dropped.
