@hellhammer666 If you or your parents paid those prices, you were suckers. Suckers then and suckers now.

I paid 60 bucks for what was then a huuuuge game, with 13 different endings (it's actually 12), Chrono Trigger. I know because I saved up for it because it was a special game, and expensive. I paid $30 for Megaman X2. My parents paid $60 for Super Metroid when it was brand new. I just asked them.
