Mark Hardisty Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hello fellow Sheffielders. I wondered whether anyone has any pictures of Just Micro, the computer game shop that used to be on Carver Street. There is an old black and white image that featured in a Crash magazine, and I have a colour image from a Gremlin Graphics brochure - but hoped someone may have taken more either inside or out. Here is a link to a print of the colour photo I have: https://www.teepublic.com/poster-and-art/1012552-just-micro-print Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antony Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Dont have any photos - sorry, but I spent many hours in Just Micro, trying to decide which game on a tape for my Vic 20 or BBC Micro to buy !! Did you find any more pictures? Thanks for the memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanimal Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 This Peter Harrap interview was filmed inside Just Micro in its heyday. The Bigfoot poster in the background dates it to around 1988. https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=463059864526974&_rdr The Bedroom to Billions documentary also contains more of this interview but doesn't show much more of Just Micro. About 10 years ago I did find the original interview in full, which showed more viewpoints of Just Micro, but I can no longer find the full length video on the internet so I think that it may be lost in time.

Flanimal Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Also, the Just Micro shop was virtualised in at least two Gremlim Graphics 8-bit games.

RichardS Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 As a early teen I spent an afternoon play testing a game upstairs in Gremlin, MASK was the game. I was asked as I was a regular in the shop. Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
