I wonder how I could have afforded $26 for a game in 1978? (Actually in
'79, at the end of my freshman year of college.) I remember paying $40 for
the deluxe boxed set a few years later, after a lot of scrimping and saving.
That seemed pricey to me back then, and I don't buy many books at that price
today, either.
