Emu Unfortunately, no. It sucks because I have people come in all the time and buy copies of Mario/Duck Hunt and then bring it back the next day because their guns won't work with their Retro-Duo

kidneyboy i got a snake.

Do those Duo systems have inputs for NES controllers too? I can't play without my Advantage and my Max!!

nice post, nice pics. I've still got my ragged ass Nintendo Powers from back in the day. Had to find scans of the Nintendo Fun Club online tho. Never got subscribed to that one.

Mockery Everybody needs a good friend with a good snake.
Mar 20th, 2009 08:49 PM
Emu Wednesday. Tell her to bring the snake. :giggity

10,000 Volt Ghost Why else would you go to florida then if not for good games. Someone stole my Suikoden 1 and my Suikoden 2. I found them in Florida at a Game Dungeon for $10 a piece, had enough to buy Clock Tower 1 and Clock Tower 2.

Mockery Heheh, he wouldn't even need to setup a store online really. He could just put shit up on eBay and make a killing, but I can totally understand wanting to have inventory for the brick & mortar business.
Mar 20th, 2009 02:11 PM
Emu I actually did suggest it, but the owner refuses to put his stuff online. He knows they'll sell online, but then he'll be like all of the other retro stores in the area and have nothing actually in the store. I have a lot of respect for him for that reason.
Mar 20th, 2009 01:11 PM
Ant10708 you should suggest to the owners to consider doing online sales and set up a site. I imagine that store would do well online

$69.99, and the store only does local business. I think you can order one online off of Amazon or something.

Edit: I also wanted to make clear that I do not own or operate this store, I just work part time there. I just love the place and would like to encourage business. The internet's probably not the place to do that given store policy of local business, but if you're in the area, come check it out.

Also, I bought that CDX today. :3

Babs Down in Columbus Ohio we have something pretty good retro video game shops. They have a lot of rare gems that they don't even know are worth good amounts. I've purchased Magician for NES for $10, now that's amazing. But I'm going to have to say you're store is by far better than anything around here.

Ant10708 How much for one of those Retro Duo systems? And would you ship to NY?
Mar 19th, 2009 05:18 PM
timrpgland That's a pretty awesome store. Most of our local shops like that pretty much suck but that's northern Minnesota for you.
Mar 19th, 2009 02:35 PM
Mockery Yeah the first Nintendo Power had an awesome clay sculpture of Super Mario Bros. 2. Here it is:


JOIN THE NINTENDO FUN CLUB TODAY! :O
Mar 19th, 2009 02:07 PM
Emu I thought they were the same thing. My mistake.
Mar 19th, 2009 02:04 PM
Sam That's the first Nintendo Power strategy guide, not the first Nintendo Power.
Mar 19th, 2009 12:20 PM
Emu Another long day, so more photos.



A second-gen Sega CD. It's kinda skanky looking and the door doesn't stay closed unless you physically push the open button back into the closed position. Though, knowing Sega, this may be intentional.



A first gen Sega CD. Not for sale.



We killed Master Chief.



DS stuff.

Speaking of DS, we occasionally sell replacement parts for some systems. They're generally knock-off brands made in Taiwan or something. The packaging is always hilarious, like this DS replacement shell:



The back of the package says this, verbatim:

"1.For the various bright colors, you can choose what you like.
2.Make your game console look much newer and more beautiful.
3.Meet your individual seeking."



More gimmick controllers. The Street Fighter one is just like the ones they released for SF4, but wired and for the PS2.



We sell player's guides. Some of them are cool, like the following.





Some of them are less cool, like this monstrosity I found.



I wasn't able to get a decent photo that properly portrays the absolutely bizarre artwork on the cover of this thing because my camera is awful. So here's this blurry thing.



It's as though they hired an artist, gave him a handful of games and told him to draw from them. Most notable is Trisomy 21 Link on the bottom left corner, who has yellow eyes, no pupils, and is basically just a fat elf. I guess that's how he looked in the game, too, so I can't fault him on that. It also seems to have some kind of hatred for vegetables. We have a tomato getting hit with a baseball bat, a carrot being fired out of a canon, and a lonely onion with stink lines sitting on a cloud in the top left. He's also crying.

Not to mention that dragon. I don't think anything needs to be said about it. Just look at it.



Another gimmick controller that looks awesome but seems like it would be awful to actually play with.



The first Nintendo Power.



We also sell movies

Someone else mentioned that on another forum I post on. the control deck is sealed, and has never been used. Sealed NES2s typically go for 250 or more on eBay, so 175 isn't really bad at all.

If I PM'ed you a list of NES/Genesis/SNES games I'm desperately looking for, could you by any chance find out the prices? :3
Yes, but we don't have a lot of Sega stuff outside of Dreamcast and a few select Sega CD/Saturn games. Nobody here buys them and I guess not even that many people owned the earlier Sega consoles around here.
Mar 19th, 2009 06:27 AM
Babs hahaha I love how Dragon Warrior is over priced all the time SIKE NAH! Jesus, seriously what a turn off to the series on the NES.
Mar 19th, 2009 02:44 AM
darkvare damn i want a place like that i love buying old used shit and then complain about the fact that i can't play nostalgia

It's a CDX, and it's 109, and that's on reserve for me. :D I think we have a second gen Sega CD, but I don't know how much that would be. I'll check tomorrow.

Zomboid Shutup.

There are a shitload of stores all over Canada that sell retro-gaming hardware.
