Sonic the Hedgehog 3 launch price was $69.99. in 1994.
That's $159.89 in today's dollars.
And this is why I roll my eyes when gamers complain about the cost of games these days - they have never been cheaper.
And that was only half the planned game until you bought Sonic & Knuckles with Lock-On Technology.
That was definitely worth the money. Can be used with the older games and did a few fun things with other games, plus you could build the Sega Tower of Power.
