QFT. We do have a few here on the east coast(a little store called Digital Press that you may or may not have heard of, among others). But I also wish more knew stores opened closer to us.

Why is it every retro game store has to open 3000KM away from my house? lol.

My city is lame. The closest retro game store is 50km away.

Somone needs to open a fantastic store like this up in the Northeast (or at least if there is one, i dont knoww) So far away......

It looks amazing though, mad props! People like you keep classic gaming alive *bows*

My COUNTRY is lame. The closest retro game store is overseas. Still, some people still manage to hold old ladies hostage with a Light Phaser.

But, seriously, it's tough to be a gamer around here. I'd gladly travel 50km to a store anytime, if there was any. Our only option is an auction site where things are generally overpriced and in bad condition.

I felt the same way, but then I found DP 5 min away from my house! Boy was I happy hehehe. To think that I passed their place in the PhillyClassic years ago and said, who the hell do they think they are selling buyers guides

Actually, I think a lot about doing so, since, as far as I know, there are no classig game stores in this whole country - and believe me, I looked. Sadly, the city (actually, the whole state) I live now has no market for this.

Maybe in a few years, when I move back to my homestate. Hope you'll still be around

**The 1 2 P** · 02-26-2009, 05:24 PM

I think I may be on to something. I should start a chain of retro/classic gaming stores. I could even franchise them out to Canada, Brazil and Mexico. Thats not a bad idea. Too bad I'm broke as a joke and it isn't even funny.

Is it really 50k from Abbotsford to New Westminster? Well I may be opening a second store in Maple Ridge, that's a bit closer.

I'm in Mineral Wells Texas, A bit too far from Corpus. I'll still have to take a drive down there someday.

Actually its just about 50km straight line distance from my house. By the way, I love your store. My camera bag is covered with those game button-pins you sold.
