Topic: Have You Ever Been to a retro video game store

Hey everyone have you ever been to a retro video game store to buy old video games? As for me I haven't but that will change this thursday.

Are you telling me that there are games out there, before my time?
Is this store some kind of ancient temple.

A video game store not gamestop? This is Madness!

What is retro? Meh, I don't really care, I'm gonna go back to my brodude Call of Duty shoot 'em ups bruv.

I used to live near a good import shop which I think is now a bit of a retro shop. It's called Raven Games and I am amazed it's still going because I last went there to import a copy of Super Street Fighter 2!

There is this nice one from a local farmers market. They have a lot of games but are usually slightly overpriced. But i have been to a few other than that. There are 2 great ones next to each other at the college I almost went to.

Why is it that Huntersville, North Carolina, never gets a retro game shop? I want some new games for my N64 and Genesis. The last time I bought two N64 games was before "EB games" changed their name to "Game Stop".

Yes, and they are usually overpriced.

I know there HAS to be one in NYC but I haven't looked for them (most of the time I have difficult time looking for a decent Italian restaurant let alone a retro store)

Sounds like a southern cookie store

I go here.

That's the best shot I could find. And that's not even the half of it. This store is MASSIVE....and usually overpriced.

never, but always wanted to.

There is a pretty good retro store, called Save Point Video Games, in the university area of Charlotte. Probably around twenty minutes from Huntersville.

Stick to charity shops in the UK. People give away great things that these stores don't realise are worth money or are collectible.

@ejvirzi Thank you. Is there an official site for them? I went to research them, but all I came up with is their "Facebook" page.

I don't think they have website. I've only found the facebook page as well. The employees are nice and seem knowledgeable. The store also has game tournaments.

There's this one retro video game store, that when you enter it, you go from 3D to 2D, and you go from HD graphics to 8-bit graphics....wow man, that's swelltastic!!!

Once. It was overpriced.
There's also a guy at one of the flea markets I go to every now and then, and he usually gives you a decent deal if he likes you or if you buy more than one game.

Other than that I usually just do yard sales, thrift stores and ebay.

I go to B+ games in Bremerton, WA. Place is cool, owners a nice dude. Great to nostaligate, and pick up a few things to support a local small business. Reasonably priced also, in my opinion. But then again, I run a business, so I understand you have to make money to survive, and not everything can or should be free.
