I support small businesses but these shops extremely lowball what people what walk in for sale with. They’d never sell any of their prized boxed games or good condition cart only games for a discount. This vintage game market is ruthless and everybody wants a deal.

[@uhh482]

Sweet!!! I live in Eugene Oregon and downtown is a shop called Epic Seconds... Just as well makes you feel so good when inside

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

These places are amazing! I only wish we had more local/retro gaming shops in the States. Everything's big box...meaning GameStop. And they SUCK. They're the absolute worst.

[@sandiego2380]

I live in Berlin, Germany, we have plenty of these 'retro game' shops, sadly a lot have closed down since I was a kid, I'm 29 now, but we still have plenty. And it always gives me a joy passing them even if I don't buy anything, because they simply feel nostalgic.

[@tac0maus]

How I have been living in Birmingham all my life and never seen this store before?!! I think I need to plan my trip there very soon..

[@reddungeoneer2187]

Wow! This the biggest retro game shop I've ever seen, so want to go there, I always love looking at classic titles etc!

[@EvilestGem]

If there's one area that has really benefited from the internet and social media it's the retro scene. It's sad to think how many more of these great little shops would be still open if they had been able to hang-on until at least this decade. Without the internet these shops are ultra niche but with it the whole world is a customer. Great stuff. Keep rocking and buying selling great memories!

[@JimboJammy]

We all had a friend we were jealous of when we were kids who had a bedroom that looked like this shop! 😁

Where I live in Scotland without a doubt EVERY single Indy game shop closes down. One after another and I frequented them all. Game (filth) Gamestation and Electronics boutique murdered them all

[@markallison3803]

Great shop but unfortunately not that much was priced when I went. Checks ebay prices when you ask how much something is and seems to stick 10% on. Stopped going there and now go to Gamesmart which is 15 mins away. But if you are happy with the nonprice thing it's a great shop.

[@DJTI99]

I know you are asking for what games we'd pick, but I saw that vinyl copy of Teenage Fanclub and now I want to visit the next time I'm back across the pond. That, The Stone Roses, and 808 State would have been on in the background when I was playing games on my Sega Genesis.

Sadly my dad died last year in his sleep to Sepsis. But I still go there as its apart of me being an OTAKU.

15:10 It sucks that I live in the US. If I was in the UK I would be in that shop so fast. Probably the only place you are going to have the possibility of all four original Turtles figures being together. As a kid I was never able to get them all. I found Don at Toys R Us in 1990 however by then the complete set of first wave figures were difficult to find. The wacky alternate versions were everywhere. Awesome video mate! Anyone that says they are visiting that shop just to look around will end up buying something lol. You are going to find something that you simply have to have.

[@thedrawback3855]

Just discovered your channel by accident. I live about 10 miles west of Brum from this place.

I am absolutely going to take a trip this week and check this place out. It looks brilliant, just the kind of store my mate and I have talked about opening for years. It's going to be a bit of a mission - two trains and buses just to get there - but I'm thinking it'll probably be worth it. We've only got CEX in my home town now, and their retro section is tiny. I've got plenty of retro machines so I'll be pretty gutted if I don't find anything!
