Retro Game Store Directory

[GirlGamer55]

idk if pawn shops fit in but this one in Kent Wa is great for retro-to Xbox/PS2 era games. I will have to say that even if they have a huge selection of games, they over price almost everything. You can manage to find some not well know games for less then 5 bucks but anything that has Zelda/Mario/Kirby or any well known name on it, expect to pay ebay prices. The only reason I would ever get a well known game there is if I had enough money to buy a few games so to save on shipping prices.

Pawn Express

23651 104th Ave SE
Kent, WA 98031
(253)813-3022

Also theres one in Tacoma that I'v seen but never been into (also it might be going out of business since the place had a for lease sign up last I saw, but the place was still open)

Super Smash Video Games

5449 S Tacoma Way
Tacoma, WA 98409
(253)216-3232

Oh and I do want to point out that a note should be added onto Game Lobster. While they have a huge amount of retro games, they over price everything. Their prices are higher then ebay! It's not worth going to them, and they are not helpful at all.

I took a long road trip over the weekend and came across a few new places:

Disc Replay [Lexington]
127 W. Tiverton Way #140
Lexington, KY 40503
http://www.discreplay.com

Disc Replay [Columbus, IN]
3009 N National Rd
Columbus, IN 47201
http://www.discreplay.com

(I think this one just opened, and they had a larger selection than most other stores in the chain. It looks like they inherited a lot of the games from McVann's after they went out of business.)

Game King
1301 Winchester Rd
Lexington, KY 40505

Book and Music Exchange
5534 New Cut Rd
Louisville, KY 40214

(I think there is an entire chain of these stores, but I only saw this one. Great selection, kind of pricey though.)

Kind of a different source that I have been going to for years, an Electronics hub of stores with goods brought in from across the Mexico border. I have in the past bought N64, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast games and accessories. I even found PS1 boot discs and PS2 HDAdvance/HDLoader Pressed Discs as well as unusual controllers.



I have been holding out giving my secret oddball Retro source stores next to the border since I have been eyeballing a really bizzare ancient controller over the last few years there, finally picked one up which I'll post in the Finds later on. Regulars will probably have a good guess what controllers I have gotten there in the past and the really strange one I just picked up.

IG Electronica Inc
464 W. Calle Primera #803
San Ysidro, CA 92173
(619) 428-8121



Most of the stores in that hub no longer sell video games other then a few controllers, but this one still has NEW SEALED Accessories worth the drive including stacks of GBA Folding Power Adapters, Composite SVideo Component Retro Console Cables, Console Cooling Fans, various 3rd party GC-N64-PSX-SNES-Xbox Controllers, and even a Wii Zelda Sword-Dagger-Shield set if you like add on plastic to your Wiimote/Nunchuck.

I swear that is Home Depot Racking on the back wall.

Hello!

I'm a long time lurker and the owner of a new retro/import game store in Hilliard, OH and was hoping I could be added to this directory.

Warp Zone - Video Games & Beyond
4496 Cemetery Rd
Hilliard, OH 43026
614-219-1997
www.facebook.com/warpzonehq

We also have a promotional video that gives an idea of what we're all about far better than I could put into words.



Thank you and I look forward to talking games on this forum!

The Video Game Trade stores in Defiance and Bryan, Ohio both closed recently. (Also, Replay in Toledo, OH is listed twice—they're both the same store.)

Retro-Taku Videogames and More
507 East 11 Mile Road
Madison Heights, MI
https://www.facebook.com/Retrotakugames

These guys just opened their store this weekend. It's almost all imported retro games and hardware (I'd guess the balance is around 5:1 foreign to domestic). This is one of the best selections of import games I've ever seen; definitely worth visiting if you're anywhere near the Detroit area.

I Found a PDF for the Desert Industries Thrift Stores in Utah list, FiftyDollarCurse is always posting crazy inexpensive finds from one of these Mormon Thrift stores.

There are DI's outside of Utah and Idaho?! Some of my friends work there and they find cool stuff. But one thing that sucks is because there owned by the Mormon church. If people donate rated M games, they just throw them away. sad i know
