I tried to have a quick look, didn't find it myself, but if you want the true price (US at least) - then search more online or a very good idea would be to download some old (unofficial) Nintendo/gaming magazines, there would probably be adverts in there :)

Why do you do want to know?
I also sometimes wonder about the original price of things, and yes sometimes they can be hard to find!

This. I cannot remember for sure, but I think it was $39.99 USD. Games were $49.99 USD, and I believe the Game Genie was priced slightly lower. If you can't find a source online, I'm sure there were ads in the gaming magazines of the day, like Nintendo Power, Tips & Tricks, etc.

    Good night

    made enchiladas tonight. came out decent. Not the best I've made, and half of the tortillas split open because I didn't warm them first smh, and I used jarred sauce rather than making my own. Still tasty though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Was this employed jarred or unemployed jarred
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Coax still surprisingly goes for a decent amount $10 per 10feet

    Coax wire today is much better (RG6) than old school coax (RG58/59). Newer wire more expensive than the older wire.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You can buy it at any length @homedepot wire cutting area cheaper than buying preformed cable, but you have to put on your own ends/ connectors.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I still like DTV but the wire wasn't long enough to reach the window still pick up 40 channels

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea me too, esp for local news, sports, or channel surfing. I get like 60 channels but there's like 15 shopping networks, and bunch other bs, religion, Hispanic, etc. I went thru and blocked most those on tv channel settings.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is 1 Hispanic channel I kept, sometimes they have soap operas on it, w scandalous clothed hotties, I just beat mute it.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Ah yes the Juan channel order 15 pairs of feet
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I got this antenna but the damn thing has usb power right next to the coax plug and you can't actually extend it without usb extension the Pic makes the cable look longer than it actually is https://a.co/d/501IQf2
