Computer and Games Shops

• game
• gayaways at the bottom of town is good, you can go on the net etc in there too
• Yet again Guildhall Street excells here. A small shop, next to Heads, sells second hand console, pc games and videos (also brand new), at reduced, exceptable prices.A friendly, busy shop. Popular amongst the young and old. 'Internet Cafe' on site. I believe very resonable, too.
• Game in the high-street. Small but got sum gd stuff.
• The little shop just got bigger.... Williams Radio now stocks a selection of computer cables, spares and accessories. Backed up with 30 years IT experience, including 10 years managing and securing webservers and networks on the internet.
• play away is geek central and has a really odd smell
• Play away! to get all your second hand games and new ones!! its horrible in here unless, you spend all day on ur PC and dont wash it suits you down to a T! nah its not 2bad, some good bargains, and there are online games constantly going on in there! There are two GAME stores in folkestone!! not needed!
• C@fe I.T. on Grace Hill for net access
• Play Away in Guidhall street for new and second hand games as well as Internet Access and Network Gaming. Game hidden in the depths of Debinhams not the best place and its still surpring how many people still dont know it exists. Of course the usual place such as Woolworths, Smiths etc
• Play Away in Guildhall St GAME on the basement floor of Debenhams. Dixons Sainsburys
• Playaway, Blockbusters
• Play-Away on Guildhall Street on the bottom of the high street is quite good. Quite cheap internet access as well. Library is best for internet though.
• Play Away, if it wasn't full of losers and that guy behind the counter who looks like the comic book store owner from the simpsons, ooh, and the ginger kids who stinks of peanuts and sweat, he must be a hit with the ladies, so you won't see him around much
• Play-away, guildhall street ..... new/second hand games for almost any computers and consoles... also you can play LAN and online games here ... pretty cool!

• Computer Games in Guildhall Street play interactive games for a fee on a networked system good selection of demo games cheap (30p each)
• There is one games shop near Heads in Guildhall Street. Ithink it is owned by the people who owned Play Aways but i'm not to sure. In Debenhams they have a new games department which is ok'ish. Nothing special though.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
