People around here seem to love retro gaming, so there's like five or six stores that specialize in retro games, in addition to all of the Gamestops.

What about you guys?

PrePlayed had a Dreamcast and an NES on sale.

It also has Atari 2600 games, dreamcast games, GB and GBC games, etc.

So, yeah.

Nope...everyplace is "mainstream" stuff.
My EB Games (before they were bought out) had a crate or two of classic games. It's where I got F-Zero, A Link to the Past, and GoldenEye...

My Gamestop still has classic Gameboy games, and they can't get rid of them.

Missourians love their retro games, apparently.  :D

There's a local chain that specializes in retro games/records around here, but I only counted one out of the many here. Most can actually hold their own against Gamestop.

Don't most stores like that in Canada have ridiculously expensive products because most of it comes from the USA?

There's this place here called Play-N-Trade, which is the first place that I've ever seen sell retro games.

I looked through the collection, but I had most of the N64 games already. I was looking for DK64 or Diddy Kong Racing, but they didn't have.

They had NES, SNES, Genesis and more games, but seeing as my brother currently has them, there was no point of looking in there.

I'm just happy that there's a place that sells N64 games within 5 minutes from me.  ^_^

I wasn't sure if it was a National chain or not.

I need to check it out more the next time I'm in that shopping center.
They even had an N64 set up to play.

However, from what I did see, it looked MUCH better than GameStop.

It is, but they are individually owned and operated, so they are very different from each other.

Which is good because they have better service, but bad because you never know what they will have.

2, I think. One within walking distance, (doesn't have as much) and the other you have to drive to, but have MUCH more.
