and this is all you get for beating it:

There's certainly dogshit nowadays, but I don't think modern gamers understand that NES games set the price standard that is just now changing. A $50 game, I believe, is around $180 adjusted for inflation. You buy Forspoken, you get your refund, and then you buy Halo on sale for $4 instead. You buy Ghostbusters, and that's your game. That's the game you have. Play it, or don't.

Thank goodness for rentals.

    Yeah, a single NES game was tough for a kid to save up for. I was usually able to do various chores around the neighborhood and be able to buy a game every few months. I distinctly remember that Zelda II was $52 and Metal Gear was $48 and I earned the money myself as a little kid. Those two games specifically were worth the effort. I'd have been pissed if I spent that hard earned money on Ghostbusters.
