    No shit? You want to pay 800€ for a videogame console?

      At current currency conversion rates, that’d be $854.

      I’m sure the Neo Geo was up there, at least in inflation-adjusted terms.

      Yeah, and apparently the 3DO actually slightly edged it out. $1,238.52 for the Neo Geo in 2020 dollars, and $1,246.96 for the 3DO.

      It looks like the Intellivision made it there, too, at $916.46.

      Now, granted, none of those dominated the market (though I remember a lot of kids who wished that they had a Neo Geo).
