    I still remember Toys R Us had a separate section for video games. I don’t just mean a separate aisle. A separate corner of the store. Though I don’t recall whether or not anything was locked behind glass. The more expensive stuff, like the consoles, was probably behind the counter, though.

      You had to pick up a slip of paper for the cartridge you wanted, and then go to a security window after paying for it to actually get it.

      The consoles I never actually saw on the store floor…
