      Cartridges cost a lot more to produce than cheap, plastic discs or modern, SD card-esque flash storage.

        Games in 1994 cost on average $60. That’s about $128 today. The cost of production of those games was at most a few dollars more in materials. Not nearly enough to explain the price difference. Games were simply more expensive then than they are now.
