Games have actually gotten cheaper over time adjusted for inflation even as production costs have risen, it's crazy. A NES game in today's money would be around $160.

Wages haven't keep up with inflation, you need to account for the loss of disposable income since then.

Now compare the inflation adjusted cost of a Model T to a Corolla.

Then compare the inflation adjusted cost of a ~~Model T~~ IBM series 1 PC to a ~~Corolla~~ modern PC.

etc.

Not every country was playing the NES then. Games on the formats popular in Europe were much cheaper.
