Topic.

It was a computer shop that used to be open in the 80s, where that shop opposite Money Spinners second hand shop is.

I used to go in there regularly, spending £3 a week on the latest £2.99 budget release from people like Codemasters such as the Dizzy and Seymour games etc.

Anyone else remember it?

This thread was inspired by the Just Micro thread.

I remember it well, didn't really go in there though as they were the competition.

Are they not there any more? I don't go up that way very often, but I'm sure the place was still open fairly recently.

That's right I'm sure the shop is still there, but whether it's still open I don't know.

Yeah it's shut, they probably moved all the stock to the Money Spinners shop across the road.
