Not to pile on, but print ads from the 90’s are wild to look at. Sonic 3 launched at $70. Sonic 3

Some Nintendo 64 games got up to the $80 range in the late 90’s before PlayStation really started taking off.
What made matters worse was the publishers didn’t have as much price control as they do now, so game and accessory prices would vary store to store as retailers tacked on additional margins.
