Last Level Games is a great place, Especially for more obscure stuff! Last time I was there, I bought some Samba De Amigo maracas for the Dreamcast and a steering wheel for the Xbox 360 :D

Great video, Sam. I have fond memories of venturing into Norwich while on holiday in Norfolk. Used to save pocket/holiday money and treat myself to a new game when we had our day out in the city. I would recommend Norwich to anyone, whether they like gaming or not, as it's such a pleasant city :)

Hearing the bit about all the Games that closed down is similar for me. I grew up in Lincoln but moved elsewhere due to my dad's job. Since getting back in touch with a friend who lives there, I would periodically visit it, though I noticed post pandemic that the Game I had always visited, as far back as when it was an "Electronics Boutique" in the 90s had changed to (I think) a Mountain Warehouse, or something similar. There is still a Game there, but it's quite off the beaten path and I noticed it too was more toys and games than anything else. That said, I've not been into that store since May 2023 so it may have changed in the nearly one year. Edit: And second on GameStation! I managed to grab a copy of Castlevania DS in 2006 and an, albiet loose, copy of Buu's Fury from there as well. There used to be a massive one near me that was changed to a Game after the buyout, before being changed to something else when Game stores closed down.

Last I remember, One Step Games was at the top of the market, though last time I was there, he was selling more DVDs than games. It's very easy to miss and doesn't stick out. That said I haven't been in a while so it might not be there.

I live in the UK, & have never been to Norwich but I've always wanted to go! I live about 4hrs away and so it's quite a way away, & so haven't managed it as yet but watching this vid makes me really want to go there now! I last went to Norfolk about 11 years ago probably, but only to the north of the county.

To be honest that has already happened most places like this are closed and a small niche of them are still here for nostalgia.

I do find the criticisms of CEX to be a bit unfair really. Yes the quality of games will vary but that's the nature of selling pre-owned games, especially Retro ones. Whilst I always buy games that are in good condition and are complete in box, others aren't so fussed so it gives them more opportunities to actually purchase the items they are looking for.
