In today's dollars, my local video game store in 1991 was selling Wizardry for the NES for $141.
Fuck, the average AAA Atari 2600 game was $99 in today's dollars. Games like Pitfall and Pac-Man.
Just some perspective. I'm going to go yell at a cloud or something, now.
Atari 2600 Pac Man is shit lol
Yet I played it so much I can hear it in my head right now.
