You looked at them on the Atari Age site to find them so they're already in your cache. So when you look at them posted here you're getting the ones you already downloaded. The rest of us are getting the Atari Age picture. Some sites will feed a "No Hotlinking" type picture when it is being requested by an outside referrer or if they're really sticklers about stolen bandwidth and want to mess with people you might get something horrible like goats or girls with cups or tubs.

If you post, then force a total fresh reload, it will try to refetch the images instead of from the cache. That's how you can test.

Correct. Steeplechase, Submarine Commander, and Stellar Track were all Sears exclusives.

I was given a number of 2600 games in the mid 80s by someone my dad knew at work. Many of them were Sears titles. Mainly text labels, but one picture one I remembered was Defender.

Yup, and that's why I wanted them. For lower than average prices, which is why it took me so long to get them. Scored on all three and I didn't have to go over VGPC's loose average price on either of them.

Games Acquired 2014

January: 60 (Added)/ 57 (sold, traded, or given away)
February: 17 (added)/0 (sold, traded, or given away)
March: 6 (added)/0 (sold, traded, or given away)
April: 30 (added)/ 0 (sold, traded, or given away)
May: 27 (added)/ 7 (sold, traded, or given away)
June: 47 (added)/ 7 (sold, traded, or given away)
July: 49 (added)/ 1 (sold, traded, or given away)

As some of you know, I actually bought and sold a lot more than this in July, but it was as part of a transaction that is still in process and not yet done, so I will list that stuff in my numbers in August. They should hopefully even me out a bit in terms of budget and bring down the price per game added stats at the bottom.

Of note, in the past four months I have only bought one PS4 or Xbox One game (Child of Light), and ended up not liking it much :? These consoles need some more exclusives. :(
