Nah, only 97. Truthfully though I was barely in high-school I think when it switched, but it was awhile ago.

But it USED to be called "Babbage's" (at least over here) named after Charles Babbage - but I guess most people weren't geek enough to know the name so they (after some corporate card-shuffling) changed it to Gamestop (and then subsequently combined with EB Games).

So when it was.. EBGames? Nice job. And I thought it was rude enough that they sell opened last copies which are on show to people as "New" which have sparked quite few reclamations both to the company itself and to our local.. what are they called in english.. Commission for rights of the buyer?

"The company operates retail stores under the names GameStop, EB Games, Babbage's, Software ETC, Micromania, MovieStop, Planet X and FuncoLand." And their original name has been listed as EB Games.

Well, I guess EB Games bought out Babbage's then. It happened after I left there anyway so wasn't really too concerned with who bought who...
