SNES cartridges were 10000 pesetas in Spain (60€). And I don’t remember any cheaper one.

I have a story. About 30 years ago Sonic & Knuckles was launched for Mega Drive. “I” bought that for 17.000$00 (Portuguese escudos). That roughly translates to 85€ without accounting for inflation.
So although the price hike is unfortunate, I’m actually surprised the prices of the games remained stable for so long.

SNES cartridges ranged from 80-150DM (German pre-euro currency) here. That’s between 40 and 75EUR.

I grew up mostly playing games that were not the latest release. Like I got Dawn of War for less than £10 around 2008 or so. It released in 2004. Think that was the last game I got the CD for, don’t have it anymore.
Then sometime in the 2010s when it was on sale I got all the expansions to it and got it on steam instead.

Similar, I think I paid £65 for Street Fighter Ii: Champion Edition on MegaDrive. That’s US$84 - and that was in 1992.
I must have been mad. Although, I probably played that game more than any other, at least until some of the huge open world games of recent decades.
