AntiWinner22 Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Let's say we went back to 1992 (I would have been 4 at the time). How much would it have cost me to buy a Genesis and Street of Rage 2? $250? Anon.
Gryph Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Console back then costed around 100 dollars. 50 bucks is a kinda cheap.
Captain FuKu Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Well, it's not just games, but pretty much everything was cheaper "back in the days." So... Yeah.
AntiWinner22 Posted February 9, 2004 Author Posted February 9, 2004 so, streets of rage 2 would have been $30 or $50?
stealthcat Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 carts were expensive, some snes games were around $70.00. so a $50.00 streets of rage could've been probable.
lancerx Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 VG still cost the same, 50$ average, only machines has increased their prices, i remember gettin a Nes for 100$, only NeoGeo as we know were the most expensive, even today you can find one at ebay for 300$.
Gryph Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 NeoGeo console were over 500 dollars. I remember there was a local arcade that had a machine with Sam Sho 1 and 2 and you would have to pay 10 dollars for 15 minutes on the machine. It was crazy.
Feyd Rautha Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 In 1990, I saw a $1300 price tag on a Neo Geo Gold system. As for the Genesis in 1994, $100 would be about right. The Sega CD and the 32X were expensive and just about not worth it. Other system's prices when I got them were: NES $150, Gameboy $129.99, Genesis $199, Turbo Express $299.99, Super Nintendo $149.99 the day it came out! Thanks, Base Exchange! Gotta love AAFES!
ovalprocess Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 ah, yes... i remember attempting to sell my little brother to obtain that 149.99 for the super nes. i DID have to trade my nes and its 30-some cartridges to finally get it. and to answer the original question, i'd say that would have cost about $150 in 1992 (seeing as there was no such thing as purchasing used games and systems).
random guy Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Do you guys remember the ads they had on TV for the "game glove" or something - the controller for the NES which let you use a glove to control the playable character? ie I remember in the ad he would punch the screen for a boxing game, and make steering motions for a driving game, and even make lifting motions to jump Mario, etc.. etc... Anyone ever have one of these things? Were they cool? And if we had the technology to do them back when the ORIGINAL ghost busters cartoon was on the air, shouldn't we have (much better) versions for the next-gen consoles?
Diso Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 Well, I don't remember exactly. Thats because my brother got his genesis as a birthday present. and we usually waited or borrowed gens games. Usually they were 20 bucks for an old game. Which is more expensive than our greatest hits games
N3oGhost Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 Carts were expensive as hell but at the time it was the normal price so you couldnt really tell. Sega Genesis - Shadow Dancer - $70Sega Genesis - Stryder - $70 These were prices at Kay-Bee Toys. i think i still have the price tags on some of my carts. Neo-Geo was expensive as we all know. Average price of new games in 1992 was about $179.99 (nothing compared to new games in 2004- @$350.00)
