I love browsing old newspapers and magazines and checking prices on items that I wanted at the time. While I had been an Atari user as a kid, I always wanted a ColecoVision, but at $149 in 1983, they might as well have been a million dollars. The ad above is for Leisure Value, a company based out of Merrick, NY that ran ads in video game magazines during the period. They seemed to do most of their business via mail-order, which explains their discount pricing.
