"your first time...."

do you remember the first time you went to your "local" special reserve store?
what was the first game you ever bought from special reserve?
how long ago was it?


the first time i went was on new years day 1997(i think it was 97') and bought tomb raider 2

Heh! I might just do that! I`ll tour Exmouth with your photo in hand, and keep peering at people `till I find you! :-)

It didn't come with the N64, did it?

My first order from SR was by post.

It was my N64 and it took a whole month to arrive.
Goldeneye was well worth the wait though.

Since then I've used the phone although i did use the internet to order my brother's F-Zero Advance game.

If I did go to a store then it would be in Nottingham.

I've always used post myself.

Never been. Anything I've got from them has been over the phone or on the net.

Hey! Not all that far from me. I`m from Weymouth, South Dorset!

Well, feel free to come down and visit. I'm often in my mates computer shop on Saturdays. You should know what I look like at least!

Funnily enough, the first purchase off Special Reserve was an N64 with Goldeneye - and from this. my cash departure grew with every purchase.

I've never seen a SR shop :-(

I really should consider buing online more because the service is excellent, I bought sommin from here, i think GT3 and it came on release day :-)

Well I have never, ever, ever, ever been to an SR club shop. Just live too far away I suppose.

I've never been to a Special Reserve store before. Shocking, eh? ALthough I do have a valid excuse - being a resident of Wales with no car (or driving licence for that matter) doesn't help matters, and I found out about SR through a magazine, where I have used mail order to this very day.
