How much did the original NES games retail for when they were new?

Question

I can't seem to find any word on how much NES games (the individual games alone not the system) cost back in the day, say around 1990 when Nintendo was in it's prime. I've heard as little as $10 and as high as $60. I can't seem to find anything on the net. Does anyone remember? Do you have proof? It's for a story I'm writing and I'd like it to be accurate.

Back in the 1980's, the games costed between $29.95 to $49.95 depending on which game that you were wanting to get..

Very rarely did a NES game sell for $59.95 but only if it was packaged with a game guide, item or something else.

Hope this helps ya out a little on your story..
