It was referring to the company that made the PC Engine / TurboGrafx 16.
Now they only make laptops, desktops, etc.

Yeah, average price seems to be around $50. People paying $70+ are just impatient. Lower than a few years ago, iirc.

I got a cart-only Chrono Trigger for $25 last year.


$100 for a cart of Chrono Trigger? That is nothing less then gouging.

$100 for a cart is nothing.

As for "what is NEC?", take a look at the top-left corner of the box.

My old copy of Chrono Trigger I got by trading a copy of WCW/nWo Revenge for it. I will never get a deal that good again.

I guess I should of specified that I am only talking about the chronotrigger cart being dumb at 100 since your the 2nd person to point out other expensive titles/hardware. I own Little Samson and Bubble Bobble part 2. I know carts can reach way over $100 lol.

Just checked on Amazon.....lowest price for Chrono Trigger for the SNES is $51.99 plus shipping, which sounds right because I've seen it hover around 50-60 dollars on Amazon for a while. Now if it all of a sudden jumped up to 78 dollars, then I would say yes it is getting expensive.

Luckily I found a Craigslist ad of somebody in Riverside, CA selling it for 40 bucks (cart only, looks pretty decent). If I knew I wasn't gonna blow money on gambling later this week in Las Vegas I might go for it.

If everyone is smart and DOES NOT buy Chrono Trigger for these stupid prices, the prices will drop again.

Well, let's look at what VGPC has to say about both the SNES and DS versions. Since January this year, it's gone up $8 on SNES and about $3.50 on DS, so maybe it really is getting more pricey. Or it could just be a fluke that will disappear eventually.
