minus-squaretal@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoAt current currency conversion rates, that’d be $854. I’m sure the Neo Geo was up there, at least in inflation-adjusted terms. googles https://www.ign.com/articles/comparing-the-price-of-every-game-console-with-inflation Yeah, and apparently the 3DO actually slightly edged it out. $1,238.52 for the Neo Geo in 2020 dollars, and $1,246.96 for the 3DO. It looks like the Intellivision made it there, too, at $916.46. Now, granted, none of those dominated the market (though I remember a lot of kids who wished that they had a Neo Geo).
