Lastly, You fail to acknowledge what was in the box of a videogame at the time. What is nowadays sold as special or limited editions were the normal editions in the heyday, especially on PC.

Oh boy... I remember some games having manuals that were hundreds of pages long...

These alone would probably cost about 10$ in production... and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

So yeah, the games were more expensive, but you got much more with them. Might want to compare the price of the games back then with the special editions today, and then you'll see the price didn't really drop all that much.
