Another "remember that computer/video game shop" thread

[kration]

My favourite shop was called Vudata in Ashton-under-Lyne. It moved from one place to another to expand the shop.

Ramsoft in Rochdale was where I bought my Amiga 500.

I also bought a CD32. But can't remember which place I got it from.

Does anyone else remember the none computer shops that used to sell games, but now don't? Boots, WHSmith comes to mind.

Ramsoft in Rochdale rings a bell. Wherabouts was it?

Boots in Rochdale had a good and sligbtly eclectic selection of computers on sale. I got a Toshiba MSX there at a good price.

What about Silica Systems in Sidcup? Got my first Amiga from there, the "Desktop Dynamite" bundle. Later also purchased and a Citizen 24 pin colour printer for £400. The excitement driving back down the M20 to get home and try them out was epic!

The local pc shop to me is still going, some how.
Did work experience there and found out how toxic the work environment was.
As the years rolled by, they are still there and beyond uncompetitive.
But also, they refuse to sell PSUs unless you pay them a premium to install it, the PSUs in question are cheap and unrecognisable brands.

I remember a video shop that I used to rent mega drive games from, those were awesome days

I lived in Lee/Eltham and would sometimes visit Silica in sidcup for games with my dad!
