Now do 1985.

Never mind, I'll do it myself: NES games were $50, which today is about $185.

That's only because people in the US and Asia overpaid for their games. We weren't paying that for microcomputer games in Europe.

That puts collecting into context.

Buying almost any game new and holding onto them for decades would be a huge loss, net inflation. Even most "valuable" games would sell at a loss.
