@VirtualJames @hardistymark Search for chipshop 2000 on Facebook, that was another shop although quite a bit later than city software etc… I was good friends with Martin who owned it.

@bonkeydave @hardistymark No way I didn’t know that mate! Now that’s two claims to fame. It was such a brilliant shop. I think it’s where I bought twin kingdom valley for my Plus 4 from that started my life long obsession with text adventures. Very cool you were part of that scene

I'm sure there was a small computer game shop down there? #Sheffield

@VirtualJames @hardistymark Got my Atari st from bits and bytes, the start of me becoming quite infamous on the ST scene. Long time ago now 🤣

@bonkeydave @hardistymark Ah yeah I know where that is. Great to see
English
@bonkeydave @hardistymark It would be amazing to go in and see how they looked. I’ve tried looking but I can’t find any videos of inside

@VirtualJames @hardistymark Bits and bytes was part of the shops in the entrance to central station, city software was to the left of limestreet station.

@bonkeydave @hardistymark Totally awesome Dave. I don’t remember this one. The only ones I remember are Bits and Bytes in Liverpool and HAM graphics on Litherland 😅

@hardistymark Wouldn't it be brilliant to go back and go into that shop, I always think that, with todays budget obv. Back then I didn't have much. Get some brand new old games, shoot into threshers for a bottle of wine ha ha be ace!

I used to work next door to Sega Trocadero as a young lad in the 90's so as much as I love Nintendo, I'm a bit biased 😂

I'm now in on the NeoGeo / Evercade action @sir_top_and_hat @bonkeydave. I know you're both fans and I've been tempted several times. I finally caved when I saw this hand held! Has anyone got this? Have any game recommendations for me?

@VirtualJames @ZXReposts @rickyelqasem Forget that question as I just clicked on the link. Sorry I did not as I have a feeling my wallet is coming out of its pocket 😂
