# I remember Tandy stores
but I mostly remember wondering what the point in them was as they didn't sell computer games.

at least the one in my town didn't

# there was two electronics stores in newark (my town.. it's an anagram of wanker and that really is all it's got going for it)
One didn't have computer games and one did... and I'm pretty sure it was the Tandy that didn't.

then they were bought out by Currys?

trying to remember stuff from the early 90's is hard when you were between 5 and 10 during them

# yep I have the same memory issues.
I think our Tandy only had a few games, which seems odd if you remember them not stocking any.

# flip flops,
rheostat fun and cat's whisker radios. It could do them all...
