haha i bought MKT for $80. sooo embarassed, and thus, another chapter in my hatred for Trilogy

I have much fonder memories of not buying games the second they came out. The problem is that's almost impossible to do today, cause if I picked up Call of Duty right now, I'd get what... a month or two out of it's multiplayer before I had to buy the next one? It's a damned if you do-damned if you don't double edged sword.

I've never paid over $50 for a video game until the 360 came out. Hell I don't even remember games being priced higher than that back then. True story, I just bought my first downloadable content the other day - it was the MK Klassic skins.

Ok. Easy to answer this dilemma. In 1991, for my 12th birthday, my mother bought me Double Dragon and SMB2 for my NES. They were $50 EACH at Toys r Us brand new! Fast forward nearly 20 years later and games like MK9 are only $60. The games in 1992 were overpriced, not the ones now. Just my opinion.

In 1992 i remember getting Street Fighter 2 for $72. I forget when Strider came out for Genesis, (89-91 maybe), but I remember my mom getting it for me for Christmas and it was around $78. Finished Strider in 4 to 5 hours when I first got it. So disappointed. It looked pretty though.

HAHA! I remember getting Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers on the NES back in the day. I beat the games in a day and returned them the next day for a full refund

So ironic you say that. Me and my cousin beat SMB2 and DD on that very night.

I almost never was able to buy new games back in the day, always had to wait a year or so to get the game i wanted sucked ass. I remember most of my Nintendo/Super Nintendo games came from garage sale specials. Used to try to hit every garage sale possible and try to snag all the good ones lol

 

[wazz]

yh i remember i bought Donkey kong country 3 for the super nintendo for bout £60

I also remember buyin Super metroid the big box edition with the official big guide which was bout £80. Super metroid was such a bad ass game. gd times

My dad bought me both games when i was a lil kid

 

[Dyzvhtynzal]

Has anyone ever owned a NeoGeo console? Weren't games for that system outrageously priced? I remember one of my friends saying games were around $130.00 and the system itself was around $600.00. Insanity.

 

[Vassago187]

No one remembers how much some 3DO games were! Now that's some insane price point failure! Weren't some of those like 300 bones!??
