I just checked out ScrewAttack's Game Over Store video and man, it is awesome! I felt like a kid all over again. I was literally salivating at the grand sight of all those games. If I'm ever in Austin, Texas, you will definitely find me there.
Are there other retro game stores just as great as Game Over?

Here's the link:

    Looks like a great place. I'll definitely check that out some day. I also need to get down to NYC sometime and check out Nintendo World. Don't know if they have a lot of retro stuff there but I'd imagine they'd have some.

      There's a video game store in Clifton, NJ (I forget the name of the store but I know exactly where it is, it's on Route 46) that has EVERYTHING- and I mean that.

      Last time I went there, they had games for these systems:

      Playstation 2
      Playstation
      Nintendo 64
      Super Nintendo
      Dreamcast
      Saturn
      Sega CD
      Genesis
      Sega Master System
      Game Boy Advance
      Game Boy
      Game Gear
      Neo Geo
      NES
      Atari 2600
      Atari 7800
      Colecovision
      Intellivision
      Atari Jaguar
      3DO

      And while I couldn't swear it, I wouldn't be surprised if they had TurboGrafx-16, Atari Lynx or Phillips CD-i games either.

            If that store was a woman, i'd desperately want to make love to her.

              Digital Press Videogames is the name of the store in Clifton.

                Just found the store's website:

                http://www.digitpress.com/store/

                Man, they have even more stuff than I remembered. They do have all the current systems, plus the TG-16 and all the other systems I mentioned. And what the hell is the Gemini?

                    there's a store around my neighborhood called "videogame heaven", and yes, it is. they have classic game consoles there for sale, classic games (with old and rare playstation games in mint condition) and a bunch of the current gen and next gen games. its a great store

                      Garage sales are a pretty good place to pick up retro games.

                        In Evansville, there's a video-game store called McVan's that I go often to (usually for my birthday).

                              That's nothing; I paid $60 for a used copy of "Mega Man VII" at the store I mentioned. 8)

                                I guess this owns my little $50 for a used EarthBound SNES cart at a game swap thing, huh?

                                    I did see a copy of "Earthbound" at that same store I mentioned, but they didn't have it anymore the last time I was there. :(

                                      $50 for a used Earthbound cartridge is such a gyp. The game brand new and boxed was only $60, if only people were smart enough to buy it when it was new. -.- The prices now are outright ridiculous, and we can all thank emulation for that. People emulate the game all the time, love it, claim they're huge fans of it when they don't even own the game, and even though they beat it multiple times on an emulator they still buy the game just to have it on their SNES and pay these stupid prices. I'm sure I could make a fortune if I sold my cartridge along with my player's guide.

                                      Sorry, just needed to vent there for a sec.
                                      Game... ovahhhhhhhhh!!!
