I'm not sure of the year - Probably 1981 - 1982. A new type of game shop opened in my home town Aldershot (UK). The shop has progressed since then to become a key UK games distributor (Esdevium Games). Up to that point there were either toy shops or model shops - and this place had stuff in I'd never seen before - Weird model figures by Citadel, and big boxed games that were beyond my budget, but they all looked so cool. Then there was a little rack of bagged games which I could afford - MicroGames. Melee looked like it woudl be a good choice, so that's the one I went for. Me and a couple of mates took to it straight away, so I went back the next week to get Wizard.
