In 1989 my parents bought me Altered Beast for Sega Master System and it cost 60.00 dollars before salex tax.

I remember convincing the clerk at EB (we played MK2 aginst each other a lot) to sell me his last copy of Shadows of the Empire, which was reserved for someone else. I took it back the next day, what a POS.

OOoo! I'll play:
1) 250,150 (I remember the buzz when it dropped to 99), $200.
(It's a nit, but given that a decade has gone by, inflate those by 30-40% for inflation; for 'relative impact')
2) Star Wars, PW64, SM64 (assuming the brand cost for SW was high, and SM was a loss leader for the platform?)
3) SWDF, Incredible Hulk, DW, TR, TM2
4) Doom, DLII, C&C, Hexen

Kim: Answers posted. You nailed N64, but I think you'll find some surprises in the others.
