To provide a relatively decent source: https://christmas.musetechnical.com/ShowCatalog/1997-Sears-Christmas-Book

Around page 286. So 1997 christmas season, Starfox and Goldeneye going for $80.. FFVII for $60...

N64 had the challenge that every single game was a circuitboard, so that inflated costs. Nowadays the price is for just the right to download a copy.

    i mean, its also sears, premium store premium pricing.

    I bought FFVII on launch day from Best Buy for 49.99.

    True, but it's at least a rough indicator, and having intact concrete pricing from back then was a bit challenging, and sears catalog came to me as a very well preserved source of vaguely appropriate pricing.
