Great retro game store in Toronto plus Mario Kart mural pics

Post by General Chaos »

I think I posted about this store quite some time ago but I went back in today and ended up buying a few hard to find GBA games and got a pretty decent deal on X-men vs. SF with the ram cart for the Saturn. Most of their stuff is priced just at or a little lower than the "market value." Some are a little high but on average it's definitely worth checking out. Plus they have this awesome pixel-art painting of Mario Kart out front.

Their website also has a forum, a facebook group, youtube videos with speed runs, etc. It's a great place and the staff is genuinely into retro games.

Check it out:

Good store. Went there couple of time but the price for some console games will give you a heart attack. But yea, if you want to get some hard to find game in Toronto (mostly classic), that's one place to visit. But if you can drive a bit outside of Toronto area, they is a store that I go more often for my ps1 games. That store name is ToyRatt. He have an offical site and a youtube page. Site is http://www.toyratt.com/ and youtube is http://www.youtube.com/user/toyrattsvirtualtour

Nice guy and he will give you a decent price for the games he is selling.

Awesome--I'll check that one out. I agree that some of the prices are too high, but I found that some were too low, so I'm not sure where they get their pricing info. Generally their stuff is as cheap as ebay so it's a good alternative for those games you just want to get without having to hunt down.
