Just randomly thought about how weird the process of buying games was when I was in my tweens with an 8-bit computer, and maybe you young'uns would get a kick out of hearing about it.
Sure, you COULD buy games in department stores (Boots, WHSmith) & high street computer shops. But the best way for smart kids around here was to ride down the blustery coast on a push bike in the early evening, to a garage round the back of someone's house with a hand-designed sign that said "Microgames" 1/x
