Oh man, 2011… I’m a millennial, and even I was already out of college in 2011. My ‘kid’ games were $80 USD in the 90s. Here’s an article from 2014 that someone made about how insane N64 game prices were.

Star Fox 64 – $79.95 (Source: GamePro #106) - 1997 GoldenEye 007 – $69.95 (Source: GamePro #108) - 1997 Super Mario 64 – $66.99 (Source: GamePro #97) - 1996

According to the CPI Inflation Calculator, $80 USD in 1997 is $160 today.
