    Thanks everybody for checking out the video and this local mom & pop retro gaming store. They had to close their doors for 4 months this year after first opening because of the virus, so it's been tough on them. It's early here in Seattle, & I'm sure the website will be back up in a little bit...

      Having lived in Melbourne and Sydney (two largest cities in Australia, can't speak for the rest of the country), the closest thing to this that I can think of is The Gamesmen (gamesmen.com.au) in the Inner West in Sydney. They sell modern stuff as well but have a "retro museum". Well worth a visit if you're ever in Sydney.

      @lsramonr 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@Capatron1 since the average income is so low there has been a lot of piracy since the beginning, that didn't help the market to "grow" enough to import more games (so there's not a lot of variety). There were some videogame stores on the 2000's but almost all went broke because of the low sales; department stores sell new games, but they are the most "popular" (Halo, Fifa, Mario, Zelda, etc).
      However, "San Andresito" has some interesting places to buy cool used games (there are locals that import them from eBay, Amazon, Gamestop, etc.). As those places have more variety on different generations of consoles, I assume there's a market for them, although not a big one.

      @@coyotekelly7143 That's amazing! I think those are the rarer ones on my list still, alongside big box PC copies of the 1st through 3rd games. I actually picked up a fairly cheap authentic copy of Resident Evil Gaiden for Gameboy Color probably a year ago now, and consider it the crown jewel of my game collection

But it's hard for me to let it go because it's such a fun game. I'm also looking for re2 for gamecube to complete the gamecube set or resident evil games.

      @@coyotekelly7143 That one was a difficult one for me. I bit the bullet one RE2 for GameCube and bought one that was pretty pricey, but it paid off because the market followed it. RE3 I bought without a manual, so that one was fairly cheap. Code Veronica was one of the first ones I purchased for the GameCube, and that one was cheaper than both of those two, and supposedly that one is rare

    Reminds me of this place in Massachusetts I like to go to where it's small but packed with various stuff. You walk in the entrance and there's just a wall of big box pc games with an arcade cabinet of Golden Axe next to it then you turn to the left and you're in the rest of the store with all kinds of things. They seem to do good business but I tend to go like an hour before they close on the weekends and I just have free reign of the store every time. It's pretty awesome. I love stores like that.
