Retro Game Stores?

[Itsy Bitsy Alex 77]

The other day I dusted off my good ol' N64 to play some Star Fox and Super Mario. After playing both games for countless hours, I ran into a bit of a problem: those are the only two games I have for the damn thing. I live in Massachusetts and I was wondering if anyone knew of any retro game stores around? The only one I knew of that was really close to me was shut down last year and I'm having a hard time finding other places. Thanks in advance!

I heard Gamestop might be buying people's old games. I think they're gonna start selling them.

 

Worst case scenario you can always use Amazon or eBay or something. Those are your best bet at getting old games these days.

Well, Amazon still sells old games, and I have a ton of games I could ship to you lel

I don't live in Massachusetts so I wouldn't know, I'd say the best bet is to look them up. If not you'll probably have to try eBay or Amazon

The thing about getting them online is that I can NEVER find them within my budget. I'm just getting back on my feet financially so it's been a bit difficult when it comes to funds. But I have found a few good deals on Amazon for NES, so at least there's that.

I may have to agree that amazon still sells old games so apparently that's where my friend bought 1 or 2 N64 games from that site. If you care more about your data and not doing the whole progress from the beginning again, that's where 3DS, wii, and wii-u virtual consoles, and xbox360 live arcade with an exception of banjo-kazooie, banjo-tooie, and perfect dark 64 comes in handy.

I would suggest making sure you're stable before spending money on games, particularly old ones. They can range from dirt cheap to really expensive if you want a decent copy. Always keep an eye out for sales though. I've gotten games on Amazon listed at $40-50 still for less than $20. Amazon's really good about sales.

There's a really good retro game store here were I live... which is unfortunately 3,000 miles from Massachusetts. I know you said that online stores are usually out of your budget, but if you wanna check out their online store, here it is:

They do have a pretty good stock for some classic retro.

 

I'm sure the likes of Amazon are usually better for this kind of thing, but I just thought I'd show some more options. Hope you get sorted either way!
