Going to Florida, need advise from you guys.....

[wclem]

I am going to drive to Florida from Ohio. On the way home I want to hit some good game stores. Can anyone in between suggest any? I am looking for the kind that sell classic games not the "Gamestop" type. We have "The Exchange" in Ohio as well as Flashback Video Games and a store called James-Games.

Any help/advise would be great. Thanks guys.

Well, since you've got to go through at least one of them, I'd pick Georgia over Alabama. There's at least one decent Play N Trade in Atlanta that Fastbilly knows about. As for Alabama, there's...uh...yeah.

Where in Florida are you going?

If you head to Orlando, there is a cool store called S & F Videogames that has a lot of decent retro stuff. Also, find out where flea markets are along the way and hit them up.

you add some goodwill's to the list, sorry can't help with any retro stores

Yeah Goodwills are a must. That store in orlando sounds like a winner. I will have to try to find it. I have never been to a play n trade, do they have a website?

You won't find much in South Florida, it's kinda like a retro gaming desert around here

If you don't mind a minor detour to northern Oregon, I would be happy to act as a tour guide.

There is apparently a new location in Southern Georgia and the original one just north of Jacksonville, FL.

Also, if you happen to be going through Charlotte, NC there is a Goodwill Computer Center (basically a hub of all the games in Charlotte. I've found everything from boxed intellivisoin games to stacks of rare NES games to a trio of Atari Prototypes) just off of I-85 (Freedom Drive). It's not more than a mile off the interstate (plus there is a Bojangles in the parking lot, so you can get your good southern fried chicken fix).

I hafta say Play N Trade is a great place to stop, and every store is different because of the franchise and has different owners.

How is the pricing at that goodwill?

Bookmarked that site also. Looks like a good one.
