Funcoland

[the King]

Does anyone else miss Funcoland?

I just loved going in and picking up a few classic karts for my nes or genesis while getting a newer used game as well. I know they were converted into gamestops, but they don't carry the older games anymore. It was like one day I went in and all the Nintendo games were gone, no warning.

Longing for the good ole days...i must be getting old.

I hated my local one. They would kick me out if I couldn't prove to them that I had money. Same with my friends. We were around age 12 at the time. We'd go up there to play the demo units, because they always had like 8 running. Only about a third of the time would I have money to buy something.

Wow that's pretty bad. Letting kids play around on the kisoks when they have no money doesn't cost them anything. And it encourages them to come back and buy what they played when they do have money. No big surprise that they're gone now.

I do miss it abit....especially when they started blowing out their NES game for cheap.

I absolutely loved them.
Mine was great and that's where I bought most of my stuff.
I used to obsess about their little newspaper-like price lists (anyone still have one?)

And they aren't technically gone -- they just got bought out and converted into Gamestops

...That's like saying someone wasn't killed by Jaws, they were just eaten alive.

They are still alive in the belly right? right?

Only the black guy. Oh, and that one guy who slid into Jaws's mouth.

I actually got one from my co-worker, he had one in a box. It was right around the first few months of Saturn and PS1 being around.

I forgot about the price lists! so awesome. Yeah I miss them. Wish there were still chains that dealt with used cartridges and games from retro systems. There is a little hole in the wall place near me. But it's so hit or miss.
