It's not just the games that don't work on the XL series that are
being discounted. A friend of mine just recently picked up some
Thorn EMI games (Sub commander, Pool, Darts, etc) at a big discount
($5 vs. normal $30 price), as well as CBS cartridges ( Mountain King
is a wonderful game, and it was only $10). All of the above worked
on my 600XL. He bought them at KayBee Toy and Hobby in West Virginia
I believe, and I checked out KayBee here in Indianapolis and they were
having the same software sale. Also, some of the Software specialty
shops are dumping their Atari software (Missile Command was only $5
on cartridge), and they too work on my 600XL. I wonder what's going
on?
