When I look back at what a Game boy game costed, and scale it up to today money(as much as $60cad, equivalent to $120cad in today money).... I feel so bad for my parents. I know they had a bit more spare money back then even being considered poor than what people have now. But it's pretty crazy how much they costed. And our first family computer was over $3000cad in 1990, which would be more than $6000cad today.

Despite how it feels, gaming is pretty cheap now. The prices may be close to the highest number they have ever been, they are not close to the highest cost they have been.
