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
Bob

Re: Where to get the original game
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.

Re: Where to get the original game
were looking at buying 20 or so copies, so you would say contacting Ataria would prove fruitful?

Re: Where to get the original game
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

Re: Where to get the original game
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.

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