@atomicpoet @retrogaming By far the format that the largest percentage of North American folks would have been exposed to was arcade games. No contest. Videogame consoles and home computers were relatively pricey items, but everyone ran across arcade games here and there.

After that, Sears had display units of their branded Atari VCS running Air Sea Battle.
