Popular Post dauber Posted December 8, 2016 Popular Post Report Posted December 8, 2016 I was doing some research for an upcoming...well, project...(more info soon!)...and I found out about this store called Minnesota Fats and an ad it ran in the Chicago Tribune that, long story short, helped Atari's lawyers out immensely. Found out that as a Trib subscriber I actually have access to digitized versions of back issues (for now)! I though this was a cool find. This isn't the ad I was talking about (I did find that, too, btw), but it's still cool to see...and apparently one of their locations was not too far from where I live now! The ad I was looking for was for exactly one year later, and this same picture appeared, and the price was exactly the same too. nosweargamer, RickR, Keatah and 7 others 10 Quote Supernatural, perhaps...baloney, perhaps not.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted December 9, 2016 Report Posted December 9, 2016 What's really "weird" is that a 360 now costs about $149. I guess some things never change...except the VCS is a better console Rowsdower70 1 Quote

Keatah Posted March 3, 2017 Report Posted March 3, 2017 They boast that they carried EVERY cartridge! I clearly remember the woodfield one, while they didn't actually have EVERY cart, they did have a huge selection. They were good at stocking multiple systems. Whatever was current. Everything except the Apple II it seemed. I even got my Epson MX-80 printer there. Atari 5200 Guy 1 Quote
