Egghead software. Now there is a store I haven't thought of in some
time. I bought Sierra's Hero's Quest at that store. I don't know why I
have that one specific memory of them but I do. Maybe it was the
artwork on the box. I found it very striking at the time.

I remember some softwares: Fire Hawk (Thexder 2) for DOS, Champion
Loderunner, Stacker without its hardware addon for my IBM PS/2 model 30
286 PC's 30 MB HDD, Windows 3.1 upgrade (had to rip out a page from the
Windows 3.0 manual as a proof), etc. I think I bought a Kraft KC 3
joystick from there too. I remember playing on their demo computers too!
And then, I discovered its bigger competitor: CompUSA (did I ever tell
you my PC's 7th Guest game demo story? ;)). And then, even a bigger
competitor: Fry's Electronics. Also, Computer City but that wasn't
popular. RIP 2 all of em. Those old days. :(
