Spectrum Days - retro games and movies

80s and 90s Shopping for games - was it better than today?


Listen Later

Do you remember buying games back in the 80s and 90s? What was your local games shop like? Did you browse the shelves of the big shops like Menzies and WH Smiths? Or were you lucky enough to have a small independent games shop in your town?


Was it more fun buying games in a box in a real shop than ordering them online or downloading a digital version?


Do you get all your games on Steam and other digital stores now? Do you miss the experience of going to the games shop, or do you still have a games shop close to home you visit? Let us know!
