[Department Stores Remembered.]

Here in the Sunnyvale, CA area, I remember Atari products being sold at the world-famous Toys R Us in Sunnyvale (the one with the ghost), Sears in Mountain View, and I got a ton of 2600 carts at the Emporium basement sales on the Sunnyvale/Mountain View border. I'm sure there were other places, like the electronics stores and Montgomery Wards in the Sunnyvale Town Center, but those are the places I definitely remember seling Atari products.

My current count is 175 titles, and 196 total carts (including duplicates).

 

I just picked up 75 carts last weekend, the vast majority are commons with a few I didn't already have, so I still need to go through those and decide what I want/don't want.

Thanks for all of the help everyone!

[Help! Are these US Games prototype carts?]

Thanks! That's still cool to me if they were used in-house.

[Help! Are these US Games prototype carts?]

Thanks for the clarification!

 

Do you mean, internal library carts or demo carts that would have been used in-house at US Games?

[Help! Are these US Games prototype carts?]

If anyone has any information on these carts and if they are prototypes, that would be very helpful! Thanks!

[Help! Are these US Games prototype carts?]

Hi everyone! I need help from the experts here!

 

A little history behind these carts...

 

I bought a bag of 2600 carts back in the mid-90s at a Goodwill in San Jose, CA, and in the bag were these two carts. I didn't think too much of them, but tried them out and saw they were Eggomania and Name This Game. Then they sat for 20 years in my collection, not thinking too much about them.

 

In the last year, I've really started back in full collecting mode and thought about these two carts again. I thought, could they be prototypes? I looked up US Games, and they were in Santa Clara, CA (San Jose's neighbor for those not familiar with the SF Bay Area), so maybe they are prototypes that someone had and gave to Goodwill with a lot of other carts, not thinking anything about it. But, I'm not an expert, so here I am. Please help me, let me know if these are prototypes for the two games!

 

I'll include pictures next...
