Actually, I was just in Chicago a couple months ago -- check out People Play Games

Prices are a bit high, but the store is nice

Sigh......I haven't been in a nice game store like the one Racket posted in years.

Neither had I -- it was quite refreshing.
Also visited Video Games New York (in NYC, of course) and Video Game Connection in Cleveland in recent trips too -- which we had places like that in MI

video game connection is where i go if im looking for anything hard to find, I'm a cleveland guy, but i hadnt heard anything about chicago stores, thanks for the suggestion Racketboy!

The reviews of that store are hilarious.

Apparently it's owned by a jew and thus the prices are ridiculous.

Reminds me of a jew in New York....wanted $40 for r-type DX.

Oh no, you've caught on to our plan to screw the Gentile!

I know of a great little place by Irving Park and Harlem, as well as a place of Clark (just look for head shops- there's three encompassing the video game store). I know there are more- there's some nice ones out in the suburbs, but I don't know how worth it they'd be driving wise.

We usually include Chicago in our game hunting rounds, but we've only taken a small taste of what the city has to offer.
