Hehe! I was thinking about the other way round. Would Tony or Ali and co. be in any of the shops, allowing us to say hi!?

As for the first time...

I`ve never been to one of the shops, but I started off with Streets of Rage? Possibly for the megadrive, just after it was released. That was by mail order.

Your local SR store? What the hell is one of those? I've never heard of them, who are they? I've heard they do this weird competition were they give away 2 games and 1 DVD everyday, but we all know that is a load of rubbish and I don't take any of it serious. So I'll never be visiting there shop.

Haven't been to an SR shop. I expect to get to the Bristol one sometime next year.

My first game from SR was Mario brothers. I bought a Gameboy at the same time. This was back when they first came out (anyone know the date?) and I got a nice little case for it (which was originally designed for cameras, but this was back in the days before cases were made specifically for the Gameboy)

I think the next few purchases from SR were gameboy games too, and then I bought Settlers for the Amiga from them (I think, but it was sooooo long ago!)
