^^^And thinking back, when I got my N64, I payed $70 for Killer Instinct Gold!  I never bought it, but Virtua Racing for the Sega Genesis retailed at $90!  Neo Geo games were $150, I think.  I don't know what inflation would be for those games from the mid 90's but......DAMN.

Yeah i agree that $60 and downloadable classics are fair. But will it continue to raise.

It is because of the demographics. Whichever way you cut it and at any time period, $50 is a bit much for the 10-25 age group.

We do forget that the NES launched somewhere at $800 or so with inflation, right?

And people were complaining about the PS3 being $600 lol

Today's prices are fair because nowadays much more people buy games. Back when the NES was released gaming wasn't as big and there weren't as many million sellers as today.

I believe that games were made by 5 to 10 people on the NES era, I don't know how much time took to make a nice videogame...

if i recall correctly, ecco the dolphin for the Genesis retailed for $70. on top of that, NeoGeo games sold for upwards of $200 sometimes!

we are fortunate indeed....

That because I was praying the god of video game since 1994-5 so he/she/it protect us from inflation.

The most expensive game I ever bought, FF6 (as FF3 of course) for $85 at Funcoland. It was about 2 months after release, and sold out everywhere except funcoland. I do not regret that purchase whatsoever =)
