I had a couple friends I would play with a genesis back in the day. I remember back then the bit wars were in full-swing, so I would hold the banner for Nintendo yet still be enamored with what Sega had. It was Forbidden Fruit sort of thing, you know? I remember playing Sonic, and also Bare Knuckle 3 (holy fuck do I need to find a copy of Bare Knuckle 3 ASAP!)

Anyway, I was at this game exchange like I often go to every month and the system was up for auction. I decide why the fuck not? So It was very much an impulse purchase.

Some games have at one point during I think March till like July MUSHA went from a 100-150 game to a 500 dollar game and it down drastically after that. Gunstar, Contra, and CV have also major price rises they went for 25-40 dollar games to 40-70 dollar loose. As long as Yu Yu Hakusho and Centy's prices don't up the fucking overpriced area, I'm fine. I've also seen Sonic 1 and 2 go for 10 bucks loose which to me is super overpriced in some stores a shame too.

I didn't say there were no expensive games. There are but almost all the good games are well under $40.

I think the biggest price difference is the consoles. Lucky to break $100 with a boxed Genesis. And the best revisions go for cheap which is great for me.

I'm not sure what's driving the price of the 32x up though. Few that were complete in box went for over $100 on fleabay.

Basically, it worked like this:
Not everyone's mommies and daddies were rich enough, or willing to buy their kids both an SNES and Genesis- as yours evidently were. So a lot of kids get one system- and the kids who got the other system are going to make fun of yours; and you, theirs- because neither of you want to be the on the side with the system nobody wants to come over and play with you. Of course are games on the other systems that you wish you could play at home, but don't let the other side hear you say that.
I'm not saying it was justified, but that's playground logic; we were all stupid kids, bombarded with advertisements saying that one side was definitively better so we had better believe it since our parents sure as fuck weren't about to drop money on another system.

Take my estimate with a grain of salt because I'm not sure if these prices have gotten worse or lowered down. I think Gunstar Heroes did for a while back in the summer? But thats how it was in March-May on ebays. If not I'm sorry nintendorks, resellers, collecthoards have ruined our glory days of cheap games.
