That inflation calculator Says 1987, but most of those systems came out 7-8 years later if you calculate 29.99 in 1995-96 when those systems were actually out then thats 59 dollars today :francis:
That’s for the land and the tramp movie

That’s $101 dollars today dumbass
Inflation arguments like this are retarded. $50 back then was not considered expensive. $100 was. $50 game was considered budget priced back then when Super Nintendo and N64 games cost $80. Just adjusting for inflation tells half the picture. Americans make less overall than we did in the 80's and 90's and wages have stagnated. $50 for a game was budget priced then and it's budget priced now and you're a dumbass if you think different. There's a reason Sony dominated: PS1 was cheaper than Saturn and the games were cheaper than N64.

The financial crisis hit in 2007 and I was buying $50 ps2 games like Yakuza 2 and Persona 4 and $35-40 dollar Nintendo DS and PSP games and the games were still considered cheap during those hard times.

Dumbass.

They were legit charging top dollar for shyt that could run in the background of the device you are holding in your hand with not a single threat of lag.

Technology legit blows my mind.

Dudes are gonna deflect but gaming has never been cheap. Unless you had a connect.

Most hardcore gamers are single and childless though so they are more likely to have a little discretionary income.
