Well no, they don't even have a lot of really old games. You see, in Tulsa there is a fairly successful used game store chain that pays more than Gamestop (or whatever the parent company that owns all of the little name alterations is called) does on average, and takes more. So, almost all the used games end up in one of that chain's stores. I think I've mentioned the name before at least. It's called Vintage Stock. There are only 3 stores in the entire city, far less than the number of Gamestops and such, but it's well known enough in the gaming community that most old games and systems end up there. Now, Gamestop isn't completely out of the loop, but most of the old games they get are from THIS generation :D. Basically, if I'm going to get a copy of Sonic CD, it'll be from there.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
