Atari no longer sells locomotion and I think this is the beginning of the end of locomotion since it has the unique locomotion and not how I like to use this pirated products and the possible end of the line is short-lived cds I ever did back up my not to be at risk: (

Your page is producing a 404.
Various 3rd party companies publish the disk at a knock down price. Not forgetting it is also availble as a download in a number of locations.
So in short, it is not the end of Locomotion.

You can still buy it from Amazon UK and Amazon US. It's a shame that Atari have stopped selling it directly, though.

Indeed :( Not that the mainstay here would think of it but, to anybody else seeing this news and thinking great - loco patch time - I have news for you, Atari still retain distribution rights even if they choose not to use them. This means even if you do contact Chris via his agency, the answer will still be no.

in south america prices are very high today I found one on sale for $ 25.00 at the store was forgotten alque reserve and not come to seek and so I bought it for granted already through the cover and the album has aged shelf life of over 4 or 5 years:

Atari no longer sells the locomotion... but GOG DOES!

Post by Theaetetus »

Was going to post this as a new topic, but it seems more relevant here... Good Old Games has Locomotion available, DRM-free, for $2.99 (they're doing an Atari sale this weekend... normal price will be double that, I think).

I remember my copy being $14.95, I bought it at one of my middle school's book fairs. It was the only thing I bought that year :P

It's a shame Atari has stopped selling copies, but the game will live on. I think Chris wrote "I hope that in 10 years people will still be playing Locomotion" in the manual. 2 years to go

Odd, when something like this is no longer manufacturer-sold, the price goes up as demand goes down...

They have a few different versions on amazon UK, but the "sold out" re-branded ones are new and factory-sealed, shipped directly from their Belgian warehouse. So i jumped at the opportunity to grab another copy of this fantastic game.

How does the old saying go again?

"Never punch a gift-horse in the face" ... or something along those lines! *lol* :D
