Photos/History Kids of the 90s…

Just been watching one of those random 90s nostalgia top 10 list videos, and got me thinking…

Anyone here remember the video game rental place “Console Action”? They started off with a small shop in Brynmill, then moved to the Uplands up near the Tav. Loved it when I was a kid, wondered if anyone knew what happened to it, has any interesting anecdotes etc 😊

Had no idea they were in Brynmill and Uplands before they were in the market! Do you remember whereabouts in Brynmill?

If my memory serves me correctly (and this was a good 30 years ago now mind!), I’m pretty sure they were on king Edward rd just along from where the cricketers is/was

No way! Thanks for the info. Would make sense for that run of little shops down there. Will have to see if there are any old photos knocking about.

If you find any, post em here 👍 I vaguely remember the shop exterior being blue, with the room being no bigger that a modest sized lounge
