True, Toad pulled out a few years ago.
What ever became of Toad's inventory of stuff when they dropped it? Did
they continue selling it until it was gone or did they somehow get rid of
it all in a fairly small length of time? I remember a buddy of mine going
in there during one of our trips to the store and buying a couple of
hundred dollars worth of Lynx cartridges. They had a pretty decent
selection onhand. I generally got my TOS upgrades from them. Best are indeed
still in the business. Err, isn't there some US shop
called "Homa", too? Of course, there's the shady System Solutions of the
UK, as well as Keychange Music. And a range of retailers in Germany, of
course.
I remember hearing about System Solutions but the other's don't ring a
bell. I guess since Toad wasn't more than 1-1/2 hours drive from where we
lived and my buddy and I made frequent road trips up to the store, there
wasn't much need to look much further for Atari stuff. The copule of times
I did, I generally went with Best.
