It could have been a Sega!

It was the day after my 11th birthday and like every Saturday before, my whole family and I were in Warrington Town Centre. However, this day was different. We had walked past all the usual shops, eventually making our way along a side road behind one of the large department stores. At the end of this road, on the corner, there was a small computer shop called Pyramid & Micro's. I had never heard of it, so I had no idea what they were selling.

It turns out, my Dad had planned to buy me a computer for my Birthday. I stood in the middle of the shop looking at the posters on the walls and at the many monitors all displaying various games and running demos. I was excited, but didn't really know much about what was going on so I just stood and stared. My Dad never asked me what I wanted. If he had, I probably would have asked for a Sega, so I'm glad he made the choice himsef. After what seemed like an eternity, we were walking out of the shop with two massive boxes. One had Cartoon Classics plastered across the front and the other was a Philips Monitor.
