Hold on a minute...the average Nes game was not 25 dollars in the US. Cheap games cost you roughly 30 to 40 bucks and new releases had been known to hit the 80 dollar mark. Phantasy Star for the SMS was 80 bucks brand new as an example. Most of my games were in the 50 to 60 dollar range back then. The cheaper games didn't really start to hit until CD gaming took hold. Post 1995 we began seeing games top out at 50 dollars with budget titles landing in the 20-30 dollar sweet zone. I remember this happening quite well because when I first saw it I went nuts. I was like a kid in a candy shop and I had money to burn. I grabbed so many "Greatest Hits" games it was crazy. Anything I missed or traded in over the years I bought back...was it '96 or perhaps '97? Addendum- This is a fantastic video and I thank you for making it!

I like how the take away from illegally pirated multi-carts of familiar games was the multi-cart bit and nothing else. I can't even give them credit for making "original" games here. Even if they stole the code from popular games and rom hacked them until they were just distinguishable enough to not get their asses sued clean off, they would have had a much better game than what they gave us. And at least the Genesis version feels like a cheap collection of DOS shareware instead of a get rich quick scheme.

@povilasstaniulis9484 7 месяцев назад

Heck, the majority of carts I played on my Famiclone were multicarts. I had some single game carts too, but since the carts (even the Famiclone ones) were expensive, it often made more sense to get a multicart which had the game you wanted on it. Those carts were also a good way to discover new games. The main problem with many of these carts was that they often listed many multiple copies of the same game with different romhacks as separate games, making it hard to find the game you wanted to play.

@fattiger6957 7 месяцев назад

The Action52 publisher had $5 million??? I don't know how much a game cost to develop back then, but I assume it was significantly less than a million, let alone five million. When I heard this story before, I thought it was a fly by night arrangement with a shoe string budget. With that kind of money, you could have made a hell of a game back then. That is, if the company was run by someone who actually knew the first thing about video games and didn't hire the first guy to ask for a job.

The way you make a cart with 100,000 games or something is by counting all the possible game modes of a game. Like, if a game has a single player and two player modes with 10 levels of difficulty, that's 20 games. And if that game also has 10 levels or maps, then you've got 200 games, right there. And so on.
