Sonic 3 released in the year of our lord 1994 for the princley sum of.... $69.99.
Edit: Sonic 3 is FAMOUSLY half of a game, too. Guess what Sega did? They sold you the first "DLC" for a console game EVER, with the "lock on" cart... for another cool $69.99.
Meaning that the entirety of Sonic 3 cost $140 fucking dollars, IN 1994.
You niggers all forgot that gaming has always been expensive.
I boycotted steam until about 2007 because I still had fucking dial up back then. Trying to find physical copies of games as soon as that happened was a struggle (I have the physical Fallout 3 DLC discs and Games for Windows Live GTA IV discs due to this, tho....)
