See how much every major video game console cost then, and what it would cost in today's dollars. Truly fascinating. Funny how arguably the best - the Atari 7800 - was also the cheapest in both senses.

Well, ok, the 7800 probably wasn't the best. SNES beats it. But it was definitely underrated, and an extremely worthy 8-bit console.
