I paid $70 for Phantasy Star I in 87 for the Mastersystem. No, those are not adjusted dollars. That's how much it was back then, msrp.
And with the average AAA game costing in the $100 PLUS million range, and take like 6 years to produce, you all should thank your lucky stars games like GTA and Mass Effect arent $120.
