Where to get the original game

Post by bendigo »

Hi,

My heritage rail operation is wanting to distribute the original msts game platform (eg the cd with the 6 routes) at our sovineer stand, and we were wondering who know is the main distributer of the pack.

Cheers

Hi Bob
MS sold the distribution rights to Ataria a couple of years back.
They sell it under the 'Explosiv' games named range.
Cheapest I've seen it was £3.99 in Tescos, or try Ebay.
Cheers

were looking at buying 20 or so copies, so you would say contacting Ataria would prove fruitful?

Bob,

I looked at buying some from Walmart in the US for some friends in Australia

I also looked at the original Microsoft restriction on my box designed to protect the non-existant Australian distributor.

You would be advised to check carefully if these could be considered "Pirate" versions when the end users try to register them

Hi Bob.

You would probably need to contact a wholesaler like Contact Sales http://www.contactsales.co.uk/ See the bit at the bottom for trade enquiries. However, given they retail it for £9.99 to the public I wouldn't have though the trade price was much lower.

Certainly it regularly appears in Tesco for less than £5 and is frequently in the 3 for £10 in Game it is possibly not going to be very economical - but give them an email and see what they say.
Kindest regards

MSTS1 online registration has never worked. Never choose Send, on that infamous Send/Don't Send error message, it just locks up TS.
