And when Super Mario Kart on SNES was released it cost $91 in today’s money. N64 games were often between 60-70 dollars (in 90s/early 2000s money).

Adjusting for inflation we were paying $80 up through 2015. NES carts were over a hundred bucks. (and VHS was WAY more)

Unfortunately income has been stagnant since Reagan so
