I'm old enough to remember when Doom 64 for the N64 was $74.99. In today's money that's around $145.

I'm not saying that's reasonable, I'm just saying it used to be a lot worse in the cartridge age.

Back then the market was also minuscule in comparison. If you ask for 150 bucks for a game, go for it. Just don't be surprised if the sales stay low, because I can buy 5-10 other games for that money.
