Toys: "Ata.. What?"

So today I went to Funan in search of Atari Flashback 2 (see post below). Not a single person know what I'm talking about, not even the shops selling games. Some frowned at this thing that they don't understand: "A self-contained gaming console with 40 games pre-loaded and just plug and play"? Never heard of. Games come in square or rectangular boxes, or discs only. And even though Nintendo DS did come up with cartridges for old Atari classic games, none of the shops carry them.

If it ain't popular, don't expect to find it in Singapore. Not even in its Premier Digital Mall. They only want to sell popular games so everyone will be playing the same thing. A sales girl asked me to try the toy shop.

*Sigh*
