Been taking time the past couple days to make some updates to my release lists for early consoles on my website. Among other things, I've had to bump ET's release up a month to November since numerous stores were advertising it in stock by late November (for the Thanksgiving period).

There's probably another half dozen games I'm going to shuffle around most likely based on advertising, as they just didn't seem to be making it to stores (at least ones that were highlighting this) quite when the other details I'd found suggested. So it goes!

Newspapers.com is a really valuable tool for this kind of thing. Have ever found any ads for the 7800 from December 1984?

That said I did just run across this from October 26, 1984, in the Lincoln Nebraska newspaper. So I suppose at least a few of these got out, though it's unclear if they were actually something you could buy.

I want to know more about this trade of a snowblower in exchange for a Gorf cab
