Some of those carts made sense at a higher price since they sometimes included computer chips in them because the SNES alone couldn't handle running the game, but back then I did almost all my gaming on rentals.
Those $80 games back then (like, $200 for the likes of Phantasy Stat) were also set within a framework where they’d take a year or so to get through individually, not including playing when friends were over or replays.
This sucks and all, but SNES-n64 era cartridges ran up to $80 sometimes and that was in 1990's money
Anyway digital scarcity isn't real, only buy hardware and steal the software

They were more bang for their buck.
