And N64 titles did have an RRP of £50-£60, or on special cases, £70. That was the cost of carts.

You're all mad. I still remember when a 'full price' game was a tenner and that was still too expensive so I'd wait until they came out on budget at £3.99

I always assumed that it was only carts that were ludicrously expensive? The extra production costs inflated the price.

Same here. I remember that a lot of the new C64 games used to be £2.99 and I used to get £3 pocket money a week. No prizes for guessing what my money went on as a kid

Anyone remember that games company that was mail/phone and you got a monthly/quarterly catalogue it had yearly membership and I remember getting Panzer dragoon Saga for the Saturn from it for about £45, never finished the game because I went on holiday and my sister was at home and had a party and someone nicked the game, I still have all my saturn games and that one is worth a bob or two.

I remember them, they sold Dreamcast games for a pretty long time after the Dreamcast was dead, must have spent a small fortune there over the years.

I used to look at their adverts in magazines and work out what I'd buy if I had x amount to spend
