That other thread maker had it right.

I see. So, was that before, or after Atari?

I know your inquiry was about northside, but FYI, If you're out west, my friends own this cool vintage vinyl shop. Worth checking out if you're in the area.

Several generations later.

Going from memory, it's something like

Atari>Intellivision>Colecovision>later-generation Ataris (5200, etc)> NES

That doesn't include the Vectrex (short lived, limited distribution) or home computers like the Commodore 64.

NES? As in Nintendo? Someone has never heard of this before?

Damn, I'm getting old!

I never knew about Logan Hardware. I live close to it, passed it a million times, and just thought it was a long shuttered hardware store! I'll have to check it out sometime, but I hope they do sell some of that "annoying hipster rock music" since I tend to like that stuff. Free video games from the 80's is a bonus!

It was a hardware store for almost a century, the prior owners passed along some beautiful photos dating back to the turn of the 20th century they have framed up on the walls.
