Literally every newspaper kiosk, convenience store, etc had racks of cassettes in half of mainland Europe (esp. Italy, Spain, Portugal) during the 80s and 90s. I use to relish trips to the mainland to stock up on the latest ZX Spectrum games.
Later on they were a good source for those pirated multi-game carts for consoles.
- phist_mcgee 2y agoYou say mainland Europe, were you on a smaller island somewhere?
- qingcharles 2y agoYes :) In the UK it's common to call the rest of Europe "mainland Europe" to separate it from Europe the Continent which includes the UK.
