      My brother bought me an Intellivision plug and play controller with 20+ games, I never played the games before and the graphics are crap but really pretty fun.

      If you are still in the NY area, we have a lot of cool ones. Retro Source in Farmingville (which also has a ton of neat 80s and early 90s nostalgia and designs), the Video Game Trading Post which has numerous locations around the island (huge selection of games), Flashback Gaming in Northport (a small, cozy store with lots of great high-end games and super friendly owners), and East End Gaming in Oakdale (which also carries videogame vinyl, Pokemon cards, and has a big selection too)

    I used to work there for a couple of years from 2019, through the pandemic and left in July 2021. It was just the owner and I absolutely crushing it! Scott is a really great guy and is a very fair owner and businessman. Great store and location! I absolutely miss being there but now I’m down in GA. They have an excellent eBay, Amazon and Shopify store as well! Support your local businesses! So happy they got a shout out on your channel Mr. Riggs!

    I lived in Whitestone for my whole life up to 2 years ago. I’m good friends with the owner of the store, it’s a really great store. They moved once and have renovated that store twice I think.
    Some of their prices are a little high but the connivence and selection is exceptional

    I watch Pop N Games' unboxing videos of games in order to see what they come included with, and if the DLC is on the disc. Cool to see the actual store.

  • @diegog1853
    @diegog1853 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That critique about stores not having prices is so true and so annoying...
    One of my local ones literally just looks ebay prices in front of you as soon as you pick up the game.
    That is very scummy practice, you cannot make calculations while you pruchase, make educated decisions, once you are up in the front and there is a line behind you, you are suddenly socially pushed into buying a game for a price you wouldn't pay before. Put pricetags in all of your products!

    When I was watching this, for some reason I had a really weird "sense memory" of the smell of the video game section of the public library I used to rent games from when I was a kid in the 90s.

    • @JohnRiggs
      @JohnRiggs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No need to buy anything, so many cons have free-play areas and more. Browsing games can always be fun, too, just to see what's out there.

    I buy games from Pop n Games Ebay store. Even though they are New York their shipping is craxy fast 0_o. I usually get my games in 2 days. And I'm in California. Shipping in my own state takes 4 to 7 days to get a package.

    700 bucks for Rule Of The Rose and it's not even very good! Blimey, no wonder game collecting has taken a nose dive. Nobody can afford it! Such a shame and exploitative as the original creators of the game do not get one red cent of the profits.
