Retro Gaming stores in Toronto?

Post by **carslayer** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 4:46 pm

I might be going to Toronto tomorrow, and since London is pretty devoid of any half-decent classic game stores, I was wondering if you guys knew of any good places in Toronto. I'm mainly interested in Dreamcast, SNES, and Sega Saturn games and accessories (I believe I've mentioned before how impossible it is to find anything Saturn in London).

So do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks anyways.

Small world. I'm wanting to know this as well. I'm moving up there in a few months and will be there next week looking for a place to rent. I thought I remembered looking up a shop downtown at some point that advertised selling older games--can't remember exactly what it was called.

I'm near Toronto too, can't we just start our own network or something? Finds around here lately are dismal.

Well they always had that booth in Gibraltars Trade Market, but I found them to be really overpriced. I used to go to Dundas Disks downtown, but since Matt left and theres the new managment or whatever that place has really gone to shit. And there is no Saturn or Turbografx stuff ANYWHERE in this city. thats why Im wondering where i should check out while I'm in Toronto.

Yeah Playmania had the highest prices anywhere. Luckily you could bargain with the guy and he would go pretty low. I got a Nomad there in perfect condition for 80 bucks a few years ago; he was originally asking 200!!

Seriously, where are the places to buy in Toronto? Maybe some little store in Chinatown?
