I went to a game store called Game Mechanix in Monroe, LA a few days ago. I had a nice conversation with the owner (it's always great to meet a game store owner that knows anything about any era going back more than five years) about the Emerson Arcadia 2001 he had on the shelf but hadn't priced yet, and various things. On my way out I ended up buying this Radio Shack Astro Command for $29.99 ($10 off the sticker price!) and at a GameXchange in Ruston, LA I found these Intellivision games. The previous owner seems to have put them in nice plastic clamshells and printed out boxart for them. And yet, they were the same price as loose games.

By the way, that store Game Mechanix has some good stuff in it. I can't afford Happy Birthday for the Atari 2600 or the Donkey Kong Country Competition Cart for the SNES, but at least I know where I can get them from if I needed them.
