These charts are compiled from both independent and multiple sources across the nation. They reflect what's happening in high streets in the two weeks up to January 14th 1984.
Neither mail order nor deposit only orders are included in these listings. The prices quoted are for the no-frills models and include VAT. Information for the top-selling micros is culled from retailers and dealers throughout the country and, like the games, is updated every alternate week.
PCN Charts are compiled exclusively for us by MRIB (Computers), London (01) 408 0250.
