SEARS....Note sure the year...late 70's I think. Went to Sears and there it was...I waited to get my turn and when I did, wild horses couldn't drag me away. My dad had to give me a right cross to make me leave the store! I finally saved up enough to get my own and 100 carts later, I was officially an Atari junkie. I sold it all when the new systems emerged, but here almost 30 years later, I got another one (thanx Ubersaurus) and I shall build my collection to monumental heights again!
