I was probably about 11 or so and even I thought that was expensive.
Worst I paid was $106 or $119 for Casper game on PSX. The cover art was awesome and so was the CD.

When I was a kid back then I knew people who owned Master Systems, TurboGrafx 16 consoles, even a 3DO. I never knew a single person in real life who owned a Neo Geo. I never even saw one demoed in any store I went to. The system was always this mythical thing that looked amazing in magazine screenshots but was utterly unreachable.
I recently found a relic store that had all these retro consoles connected to multiple TV's and they were all switched on and one of them was a Neo-Geo. Its something videogame stores used to do back in the early 90's I guess. Always wondered, were they not worried that it will kill the system faster?
Also, I believe 3DO price was similar to Neo-Geo so why it was more common? maybe games price was cheaper?
