I agree it was low, but I wonder if their contribution was larger in marketing and distribution of the game? Those were different times...

Physical duplication, packaging, inventory and distribution would have been significant costs borne by a publisher. Retailers would have taken, what, over 50% of the cover price I assume? Kids today with their digital downloads have no idea :) Still, 3% of gross seems low.
