The Art of Buying

The Wii will get its first NeoGeo Virtual Console games in North America Today (Monday). Busy as I am, this deserves a comic.
I was one of those people who spent a large stake of my high school income on NeoGeo games. To fit it neatly in one equation:
6 months of allowance = 1 NeoGeo game
Now, 15 years later, I plan to buy ‘Art of Fighting’ for %4 of the price I paid for that very same game back then.
In 1992, $9 wouldn’t even buy you a NeoGeo game cover. I hope they come out with a NeoGeo themed Wii (with arcade stick) soon.

You paid $225 originally?
( $225 * 0.04 = $9 )

Actually, I paid SR 900 = US$ 240.
An amount that can never be justified, nor will be ever paid again for any single game in the future.
