This Department Store Sold BOOTLEG Atari 2600 Games. Here’s Why

Описание: In the late 70’s and early 80’s, Sears was marketing the Atari VCS under their own private label. As we know, department stores love having their own private labels because they’re “exclusive” and customers will keep shopping at that particular store. But there was another store that was selling VCS games under their own labels as well. We’re gonna be talking about the Canadian discount store, Zellers. Their games looked really weird, almost like they’re bootlegs.
