I vividly remember saving up my money to get SMB2 and then when it hit the local dept store it was over $60. I had $45. Never did end up getting that game at the time. Most games were in the $45 range in my area. I never even saw a Target until fifteen years ago. |

If I just put up a bunch of just Sears ones he would have replied "that's just at Sears!" I found Toy R Us ads that were pretty much the same prices. I spent way too much time trying to find an ad that featured ANY game at $70. Cognitive Dissonance on his part, I showed proof games were not $70 he can either accept he was mistaken or continue to believe that games were $70 even though they clearly were not. I'm fine with it either way. :cheers: |

Only system I remember seeing regular $70 games on was the N64. Not many but stuff like Perfect Dark and Majora's Mask. Maybe it was just the expanded memory games. |

The SNES had games that were $70+ because they had that special "Fx" chip... if I am remembering correctly. But yeah most games were around $30. I would say though it may have well been $70 because back then $30 was a lot of money! |

The only high retail prices for games I remember was SF Alpha 2, UMK3, and maybe Killer Instinct? I remember StarFox and some of the FX games being above average in price. Lets not get side tracked and start talking SNES, he specifically said NES. |
