I lived in a small villege but about 2-3 miles away there was a place that
rented out videos. Sherwood Videos it was called, had to go up some stairs
to a place above the regular stores. I know they sold games but I think they
may have only rented out cartridges since floppies and tapes could be easily
copied.
