Farewell, GameCrazy......

That store was the place where I got my first Genesis at in 2004, later on my first SNES in 2008 and started collecting and playing the madness I'm proud to call my hobby in that place.

Seriously awesome memories of the killer store they had in Jersey. There was this really cool industrial look to it with concrete floors, no drop ceiling so you could see all the innards of the structure with awesome vintage banners hanging down, a lot of blacklight and neon as well as insane demos and stuff to play when you went in; they even had a Guitar Freak arcade setup in there once.

That store helped kickstart my obsession and really just kicked ass in so many ways.

I won't miss all the used games with Hollywood Video covers.

I will miss the commercial polisher in the corner.

See if you can buy it or get it for free. Lots of stores literally just give that stuff away or sell it off for pennies on the dollar when they're closing their doors.

You'd be surprised how glad they are to even make a few bucks or get rid of something for free that would normally cost them hundreds to dispose.

Heh. True. Those polishers work wonders.

All stores wouldn't sell. I think employees already snagged them, hey I would have done the same. :(

Did you try talking to the manager?

Most retail managers will throw their own kids under a bus if it meant a quick sale and better numbers for him and his store.

I don't think any managers care about numbers at this point as they are all losing their jobs.

Game Crazy store managers are just the managers of the attached Hollywood Video if I recall correctly.
