spongebue Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Ok, I was at EB games, looking through the NES games, when something caught my eye: a couple 2600 games I knew how it got there, (used to be a different store that sold 2600 games and stock was probably sold to EBX as well) but I was surprised that they were still there, considering they became EBX at least 2 years ago. Just thought I would say it as it was a kinda fun story IMO. BTW, the games were both asteroids in case you were wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Some of the other places I have heard other members saying they came across 2600 games, It does not surprise me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 When the EB GAMES near me first opened, they had a box full of 2600 carts. Unfortunately it was a very temporary thing and they haven't carried then since. I asked one of the managers about it recently and when he looked them up on his system it showed the trade in value as $0.00. I guess that helps to explain why they don't get many in anymore!

sku_u Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I just found a store that has a gigantic stock of 2600 games around where i live. I'm going there tomorrow to see what they have. It's not a store one would think would have any videogames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hey spongebue, which EB Games was it? I just hit the EB Games downtown yesterday, and FINALLY found a copy of Midway Arcade Treasures for GameCube. Everywhere else I have been is either sold out or never even heard of it.

kyle Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 You never know who will have atari games! A pawn shop two towns away from me always has atari games they seem to get a new lot atleast once a month. They have a big flashing shign outside the store that says we buy and sell video games of all kind. Most of the time i get the games from $2.50 to $3.00 my wife got me a few nice atari games from there for christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Ever since it was announced GameStop would be getting rid of all their pre-PS1 games only to have my local store just about double their inventory in the months that followed, I've decided not to be surprised about what they and EB do. I think they're all franchises anyway. That said, the only way I can describe the reaction of the Gamestop guys when I brought in an AtariAge 2600 cart to demonstrate that new Atari carts were still being made (and this particular one with my name on it, even) would be "mystified". I think they may have been born after the release of the NES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
