Re: Retro Game Store Directory
Evening! My first day here, so I thought I would make myself useful.
Within the past month I've started to dig up my childhood and get into retro gaming with a vengeance (reacquired a Dreamcast, Genesis, Snes, and NES in the space of a month
). Anyway, I've tracked down a few decent retro stores in the central Ohio area.
There is what I'm guessing to be a local franchise called Play It with three locations.
Polaris Location
1202 E. Powell Rd
Lewis Center, Ohio 43035
614-436-1111
OSU Campus
15 E. 13th Ave
Columbus, Ohio 43201
614-754-7817
Clintonville
4316 N. High Street
Columbus, Ohio 43214
614-262-8888
Been to the Clintonville and Polaris locations over the weekend, and while the Clintonville had a better older game selection, they all had really nice sections devoted to NES/SNES/Sega's systems, in addition to current systems, dvd, etc. Decent stores.
There's also a two guy hole in the wall place in grove City
Tech n Gamer
3650 Broadway
Grove City, Ohio 43123
The owner seems like a nice guy and is definitely centered around the retro systems, but a lot of the games themselves seem like the cast offs from someone's bigger Craigslist lot. They have a ton of refurbished systems though from the 2600 to the PS3, so if for nothing else, they're a good resource for hardware.
