Yeah, though I do miss bargain bin hunting. "Boxed copy of People's General for DM 5? Don't mind if I do!"

Now there's a game that could use a remake. Though I don't think the US would win this time round

Don't think Norway had any tariffs on intellectual property, so computer games were basically the same here as in the country that produced them, usually the US or the UK.

Epyx Winter Games on floppy disc cost me 179 NOK. Which today is the price of a double Big Mac with "fries".

I recall paying £35 for Civilization back in 1994, which seemed to be the going rate for a major game. The Bank of England calculator says that is the equivalent of £76 today. Prices seem to struggle to get over the £50 mark here.

Yeah, I was thinking about the same experience. I remember paying $40 for the first civilization game in 1991.

That was a lot of money back then. And if I am patient, I can pick up most games for that or less now.
