Hello and welcome to the Retro Hour podcast episode number 87, your weekly dose of retro gaming

and technology news with me, Dan Wood.

And me, Ravi Abbott. Now, last week we were talking about retro gaming shopping in Leeds, and it's kind of like a little Ravi tour of the country. Ravi's travels. Oh, I've been going to all these weddings, haven't I? I just acted at my wedding as well. Probably the guy. Yeah, I was in London, and I was really shocked. There's no retro game shops in London, in the whole of London.

And you know we we had retro game base on? Yeah. They shut down. Oh, what? Yeah. Yeah, so I was looking for retro game shops. All I could find was a dismal little CMX in Peckham. Now, I used to live in London.

I'll be honest, it was kind of before I got really back into the retro thing. But, I mean, I know we must have lots of listeners in London. There's got to be some retro shops in London. Yeah, informers, if there is one, because I was just amazed. You know, it's like retro game base. I looked it up, and then I was like, oh, Streatfam. that's fine, I can get there and then it was like

permanently closed.

What's going on? base. I looked it up and then I was like, oh, Streffam, that's fine. I can get there. And then it was

like, permanently closed. What's going on? And I also looked for the other geek shops and they

were just like, forbidden planet and a few others. So if you're a listener in London, because

why coming down a few weeks actually for an event that we're going to be talking about in just a bit,

it would be nice to, you know, spend the afternoon visiting a few retro shops, wouldn't it?

Yeah, I'm really disappointed that those guys are gone as well.

You know, that seemed like a really cool little shop as well. So yeah, do let us know. Email a show at theretro at Howard.com. Are you having a weekend at home this weekend, though, I am? Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, finally, yeah, because you're doing too much traveling, going to weigh yourself out.

That's it.

Germany soon.

Yeah, all coming up, isn't it?
