Question: Did Amiga Kit(the website) sell Amiga Games first by mail order
I just wondered because years ago about 1996/7 or later I wound buy games for the Amiga(original games on disk) from mail order(it was the only way to get them at that time no eBay) and its address was in Cardiff, Wales, I think it had a Wood Green address in North London too and they would forward on the Amiga Game orders to them in Wales, cause it was a flat above a shop, I looked, it was on Wood Green High Road, North London, it about a mile from me, I am in Tottenham(Harringay).
It could be just coincidental... but you need to start somewhere and then move on to do other things... Last edited by spannernick; 01 December 2023 at 19:39. |

As I recall, AmigaKit as we know them today started in the early/mid 2000s selling generic computer parts that happened to be Amiga-compatible. From there they've expanded into a full-fledged Amiga dealer and hardware manufacturer.
Not sure whether the place you're describing in Wales was an earlier iteration of the business, but it could just as well have been a different company. Remember when there used to be multiple Amiga stores serving a single geographic area? Back in the 90s there were 4 or 5 of them within a 30 minute drive from me. Ah, those were the days... |
