But despite an emotional farewell post which thanked customers for their support and loyalty over the last 18 years, it looks like we haven't seen the last of GAME yet.

A playful tweet from GAME Harrogate's Twitter page shows their logo superimposed on Bettys' shop front, with the words: "We may be closed for now but we’re still looking for a new home in #Harrogate! Any suggestions from you lovely HG1 folk? We think we’d look great here..."

Suggestions for a new location have been pouring in on social media, with some residents recommending Beulah Street and Oxford Street for GAME's search.

A tweet from Harrogate GAME on February 17 announced their departure from Victoria Shopping Centre, and signposted customers to the Leeds Headrow branch - leaving many thinking that the shop was gone for good.

It said: "Can’t believe I’m writing this, but we at GAME Harrogate close our doors for good at 4pm tomorrow. A HUGE thank you to all our loyal customers and colleagues over the past 18 years, your nearest store is @GAMEHeadrow for all your gaming needs. Thanks for the memories guys!!"

But residents have welcomed the news that we could soon see GAME returning to the high street.
