Re: What were the prices?

Posted by Tricob on .
Many cartridges for the NES I saw selling for 30 to 40 dollars. Really, the price depends on the demand, what licensing is involved (movie-based titles, big-name console ports, etc.) as well as who's selling it. A cartridge released by Codemasters or Tengen will generally be less than one by Capcom or Konami.

I found these spiffy charts about the price of consoles and what they would be if you took inflation into consideration. History of Console Prices

I didn't buy my SNES, Genesis, and NES when they first came out and back then consoles would go on sale. So I don't think I payed more than $100 each for the SNES and Genesis and only $50 for the NES.

The only games I remember buying were the SNES port of DOOM and I overpayed at $50-$60. I still have TMNT: Tournament Fighters for the NES and according to the sticker on it I payed $27 for it Used. That has to be the most I payed for any game Used.
