there's a store here in NYC where you can still buy Atari 2600 games, new in box...

OK, say you want to buy a PlayStation. Easy enough, just walk to your corner K-Mart or EBX, put down the money, pick up the box. But what if you, being just plain odd, or asleep for the last seven years, want a Genesis or SNES. Even more, what if you, being just REALLY weird, or asleep for the last fifteen, need an Atari 2600 or Intellivision. This is where Multimedia 1.0 comes in. I don't know whether their marquee simply hasn't been changed in that long, or whether it's intended to create the effect, but it proudly lists all of these obscure systems most of us don't *know*, much less remember: Atari 2600, ColecoVision, the TurboGrafx 16. And the thing is, they are actually sold here, along with the games! Otherwise, the inventory is fairly generic, and generally overpriced, but just for those ancient relics alone, the place deserves mention. - MK
