    Default The bookshelf of Activision

    I worked for microdealer in the UK for abotu 6 months over Xmas 1988-new year 1989. One day we were moving a few bookcases and behind one was another one. It was a large metal bookcase and it was remarkable in that every corner and inch was filled with carrier bags full of either pin badges or patches from the 2600 and INTV days of Activision. Turned out that this was Activisions old stock, they'd moved it when they'd moved in with Microdealer along with some of their old stock.

    Naturarry enough I took one of each badge and patch and have kept them ever since, but I cringe to think of what happened to all thoe patches and badges when microdealer closed in late 1989 as Robert Maxwells com;panies started to unravel..

    Well yes thats good but sucks at the same time. You could have had so many more badges and stuff. YOu should have taken 3 of each.

    Bearing in mind 3 guy's were arrested for stealing whilst I was there and the company pressed charges do you wish to reconsider that remark?
