KB Toys still selling Atari Jaguar games

This amuses me. As much as I like to make fun of K Mart and fye for having ancient stock (”The Bouncer” for $52.99, anyone? Anyone?), this really takes the cake. Fairyland on Cheapassgamer reports that some KB Toys locations are still kicking around Atari Jaguar stuff… and at a price about as cheap as it gets.

I personally did not find this, but my friend found and bought Zool 2 at his KB in New Jersey, somewhere near Rahway, for only a quarter! He said it was next to the PS2 games that they was liquidating. When he went to check out, the employee thought it was some PC game. It appears this was the same store where my friend just got some 10 year old Sailor Moon dolls as well. It appears that some KB Toys are extremely stuck back in time. Simply amazing.

Amazing indeed. It reminds me of when I picked up a box of new overstock Sega Game Gear games earlier this year at a flea market for $0.25 ea. (Nothing amazing, just Disney’s Aladdin, a tank sim, and some poker games.)

I’ve also heard reports this year of Wal-Mart still carrying late gen PS1 Square titles (Black label “Vagrant Story” for $19.99?? Are you kidding me?) and K Mart carrying N64 Diddy Kart strategy guides.

Have you spotted ancient gaming merchandise at a retail store? Send it in and we’ll post it! Pics are a plus!
