I can think of four or five places that sell classic games near me.

What about you?

There's not even a game store in my town.

Yes.

It's a 5 minute bike ride from my house.
It's called "Entertainment Overload."

I bought a working playstation there for only 10$. :)

Not that I know of...

Instead we get 3 GameStops on one street.  :|

I've seen NES, SNES, and Gameboy games at the GameCrazy here where I live.

Not even one..  :'(

Gamestop keeps buying them out. A new store is opening in my dad's town, but I dunno what they'll sell yet.

Yeah I can think of several. One called trading zone sells some crazy rare SNES games in their original packaging.

Amazon, since GameStop stopped selling Dreamcast games.

Not that I know of, and Gamestop is the only gaming store in town.

I used to go to Rhino, but guess who bought them out? Because of that, I have nowhere. There's maybe one place, and I think it just sells modern games. But it sells imports as well. But I have to take a bus to get to it. :(

Rhino was one of them, Funcoland was another. Guh.

this.

there's movie stores that rent games, but our last video game rental store (Microplay) went out of business... at least 5 years ago, probably more like 7.

around here, we buy our games at Superstore, because thats the only place to do so.  yeah, there are pawn shops, they sell old games, but like... 80 bucks for the classics, 50 for everything else.  complete rip.

We used to have a Game Crazy that sold Famicon, Dreamcast, and Gameboy games.

We used to have a Funcoland that sold some old games. But Gamestop is there now. Plus another Gamestop down the road. :|

The closest place near me that sells classic games is like an hour and a half away. It's like a big garage sale where people set up places to sell things, and there's a place that sells a lot of classic stuff.

Rhino was owned by Hollywood Video.

Now some stores have Gamecrazys in them.

Game Xchange is the only place I know of.
I've never been there, though. :x

I miss Babbage's....

Yup, theres only one store around me that sells classic games, but there's like a million gamestops...

I bought Majora's Mask and Banjo-Tooie at that classic store.. If i had like 5 more bucks I could have bought a dreamcast :U

I wouldn't know.

Somebody should start a campaign to firebomb all of the Gamestops on the planet.
Too bad it will never happen...

That's about as likely as opening a mom and pop hardware store in a big city.

Obligatory:
[spoiler]Nothin' ever (ever) happens in this town
Feelin' low down (down), not a lot to do around here
I thought that I would go right outta my mind
Until a friend told me the news

He said, "(Hey), you know that vacant lot
Right beside the gas station? Well, somebody bought it
And on the spot they're gonna build a shop
Where we can go buy bolts and screws"

Since then I've been walking on air (air)
I can barely brush my teeth or comb my hair
'Cause I'm so excited and I really don't care
I've been waiting since last June

For this day to finally arrive
I'm so happy (happy) now just to be alive
'Cause any minute now I'm gonna be inside
Well, I hope they open soon

I can't wait no, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
When they gonna open up that door?
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store

In my sleeping bag I camped out overnight
Right in front of the store, then as soon as it was light out
I pressed my nose right up against the glass
You know, I had to be first in line

Gonna get me a flashlight and a broom
Want a pair of pliers for every single room in my house
See those hacksaws? Very, very soon
One of them will be all mine

Guys with nametags walking down the aisles
Rows of garden hoses that go on for miles and miles
Brand new socket wrenches in a plethora of styles
All arranged alphabetically

And they're doing a promotional stunt
There's a great big purple sign out front
That says every 27th customer
Will get a ball pein hammer free

I can't wait no, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
When are they gonna open up that door?
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store

I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store

(breathe)
Would you look at all that stuff ...
They've got allen wrenches, gerbil feeders, toilet seats, electric heaters
Trash compactors, juice extractor, shower rods and water meters
Walkie-talkies, copper wires safety goggles, radial tires
BB pellets, rubber mallets, fans and dehumidifiers
Picture hangers, paper cutters, waffle irons, window shutters
Paint removers, window louvers, masking tape and plastic gutters
Kitchen faucets, folding tables, weather stripping, jumper cables

Any imports?

I wouldn't doubt it.

We used to have a place called... Anime or Game World, and they had a poop-load of imports.  The also had Atari games, cards, movies, posters, toys, basically everything under the sun. 

Sadly the place didn't get a lot of business, so it went under. >:

My god, if that place was around here, it would flourish.

Mostly from repeat business by yours truly.  :D

I never realized how many video game fanatics there were in my town until Video Games Live came here.

There's a game store just 5 or 10 minutes away of my bike that sells classic games. It's called exccelerate. I really hop gamestop don't buy them out there way better than game stop.

When I was in Nashville (about 2 hours away), I went into some store that sold everything from Atari to Wii games, systems, and accessories.

Sadly, I've forgotten the name. D:
