In my neck of the woods, K Mart didn't even carry video games until '96 or '97.

It is quite possible? K-Mart only stocked the Turbo Grafx 16 at its initial release - I purchased the console as well as my first game (The Legendary Axe) at K-Mart… they never carried any newer titles and never restocked the console after mid 1990…
Children's Palace was the store my mother took me to every month (while she would shop at Pace) and I focused on purchasing TG-16 as well as SMS games as they were not available at most other retailers…

This entire thread is comedy gold! Those videos that YoshiM posted made my day all in themselves...the rest of the links to the "Johnny Turbo" comics made my day yesterday. So much epic badness in video game advertising...I'm really not sure what they were thinking.
How in the world did that Yoshi's Island commercial get the green light when the exploding hamster was censored in Maniac Mansion?
You are startled by a grim snarl. Before you, you see 1 Red dragon. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?
the Canton K-mart had a fair selection of games… typical NES stuff as well as a few Genesis and Turbo Grafx games at their release… they also had SNES at launch as that's where I also purchased my SNES!
hey Tempest, a bunch of us might be meeting up at Pinball Pete's next weekend… I can message you at AA or text you when I find out more details - of course, ANYONE is more welcome to come by and hang out!
