$200 per print from a pen plotter? I'm sorry but unless each print is hand-drawn or something, then $200 is a bit much. Especially if there's masters sitting on a hard drive somewhere.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Bear in mind it is a way to own unique outputs from the creator's own "instrumented" NES emulator. So, as with commercial software, the price reflects the r&d cost. In this case there's also an "art print" aspect to the product. I'm not tempted to buy but I can imagine that selling the prints for less than, say, $50 might create more work fulfilling orders than the guy wants to do & at the same time make the product…
As the creator, I feel this comment best reflects my mindset behind the pricing. In particular, at a lower price I'd be overwhelmed with fulfillment and I'm not interested in that.

If anyone is interested in exploring something similar, here's the simple fceux script I used to sample the memory of a running NES game: https://github.com/mattbierner/NES-Memory-Visualization/blob...
Woah, hey, it's me! I wanted to share this on HN but wasn't sure if it was kosher. I guess someone else did it for me! I just started working on these last week and they were very well received on Twitter. Then, to my astonishment, Edward Tufte retweeted it! https://twitter.com/EdwardTufte/status/954537749234765825 I have one of his books but didn't realize he was on Twitter until that moment. I was blown away. A lot…
If you want to try running this in a big robotic whiteboard, let me know.

I mean, a photo only costs like $10 to print an 8x10, why would the artist dare charge $200 or more?

No masters, each one sold is unique! If you buy one, I'll play another round of Donkey Kong. haha
Can we get platinum editions with famous computer scientists (besides yourself, of course) playing Donkey Kong? I want the Don Knuth edition!
