Games where alot cheaper to make back then.
The most expensive SNES games probably cost like abit under ~$1m to make.
I wouldn't be surprised if something like Mega Man X, was like half that.
edit:
This also means, that they likely recouped like 100x or more the money they put into production costs.
Not many games today come near, earning back that much.
