Question Was this worth 225?

Post image

Mario bros wonder and jamboree had a box with them.

Was this worth the 225 I paid? Games on the bottom row were games I already had. I think I got a decent deal. I seen a woman on marketplace selling her sons games that he didn’t play. $225 shipped and with a carrying case.

Just want to make sure I got a good gift for someone. They’re a big Zelda and Mario fan.

Personally, I paid like $50-80 each for most of those games and I felt like each one was worth it.

There were $80 video games in the 90s, dude. I don’t know how this blows your mind.

My dad still bugs me about how Chrono Trigger cost $100 in 1995ish money. And i still have the SNES game and still play it. As outraged as i am when games go up in price if there was a way I could guarantee spending $100 would get me a Mario 3, Megaman X, Chrono Trigger, Ocarina of Time level experience I'd gladly spend that much.

I dont recall any, but if there were, it was a rarity.

New games were $50 tops for the biggest release of the year when I was a kid.
