The Gamesmen have been in business since 1982. As of 1990, we famously began offering our customers catalogues: highlighting the latest releases, special deals, and more for purchase via mail order, or in-store. At the time, they were the most hotly anticipated letters to arrive every quarter. Now, they serve as snapshots in time: artefects detailing not only the history of our store, but also the history of gaming for the last three decades — and they're all here. We hope you enjoy browsing them.
I had no idea this existed until I just stumbled on this republished Kotaku article. I don't have personal experiences with Gamesmen per se, as I was never a Sydney resident … but what a nostalgia trip from (briefly) perusing the various video games, gadgets, game consoles etc. (and their listed prices) back in the various yesteryears, in these archived catalogues.
If anyone has memories of noteworthy/historic Gamesmen deals / purchases from back in the day, feel free to share :-)
Ah yes, the memories! Amiga 500 starter pack for $995! Plus only $199 for a half megabyte expansion card. PenPal word processor for $189. I did my uni thesis using that!
