That's right, you're 8 years old. The only system that cost that much was Neo Geo, which was a colossal waste of space. I think SNK was calling it the big thing, but its games were over twice as much (150.00) as Genesis and SNES and Turbo Graphix (heheheh) games. Hey Rob, remember NEC? Bonk? LOL! Every other system hit 200-300 dollars. Neo Geo cost 500-600. What was SNK thinking? No one will ever know...
I know there were some other doomed systems out there... Atari Jaguar, or was it the Panther? Some company made something I saw at Electronics boutique, but I can't remember what it was called... I think it had a bunch of triangles on the pad as part of the symbol. Didn't really launch too well.
