POPnGAMES is a Video Game Store in a Quiet Neighborhood

[@JohnRiggs]

What video game store should I visit next? And check out my trip to Long Island Retro Game Expo - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYuahHaep9GaedE

[@clintonfox3808]

Their is a fun one in Binghamton Ny called Robot City, It has a huge arcade attached to the video game store. Also In October retro game con in Syracuse NY which is a great time !

[@tonyah.960]

Thank You John Riggs for all your hard work!

[@MonkeyspankO]

You went to this dudes store the same day I found his channel for the first time. What are the odds?

[@dwaynemenzies8824]

My brother bought me an Intellivision plug and play controller with 20+ games, I never played the games before and the graphics are crap but really pretty fun.

[@ldrelick]

If you are still in the NY area, we have a lot of cool ones. Retro Source in Farmingville (which also has a ton of neat 80s and early 90s nostalgia and designs), the Video Game Trading Post which has numerous locations around the island (huge selection of games), Flashback Gaming in Northport (a small, cozy store with lots of great high-end games and super friendly owners), and East End Gaming in Oakdale (which also carries videogame vinyl, Pokemon cards, and has a big selection too)

[@KO_Scorch]

I used to work there for a couple of years from 2019, through the pandemic and left in July 2021. It was just the owner and I absolutely crushing it! Scott is a really great guy and is a very fair owner and businessman. Great store and location! I absolutely miss being there but now I’m down in GA. They have an excellent eBay, Amazon and Shopify store as well! Support your local businesses! So happy they got a shout out on your channel Mr. Riggs!

[@JohnRiggs]

seemed like good people to me. My booth was across from theirs at Long Island expo.

[@butterccm]

I lived in Whitestone for my whole life up to 2 years ago. I’m good friends with the owner of the store, it’s a really great store. They moved once and have renovated that store twice I think. Some of their prices are a little high but the connivence and selection is exceptional

[@JakeBaldino]

Pop N Games is one of my favorite stores. Love seeing it highlighted here! Scott rules.

[@JohnRiggs]

Scott was super cool

[@popngames]

Hey Jake thank you! we are honored to be one of your favorite stores. It was also great meeting you John great video and great guy. We hope to bump into you again in the future and chat more.

[@JoeZullich]

Quite a quiet 🤫 neighborhood

[@kuruptein]

I once took a bus trip to long island when i was 15 to meet up with people i played counterstrike with..fell asleep on the bus woke up didnt know what stop I was at got of at a gas station in queens..knew I did not belong there lol. This was also like 20 years ago. But the store looks awesome

[@L0v3_Murd3r_0n3]

Seeing the Toki collector's set made me smile. I grew up with the NES game and was so happy to find out they updated it.

[@HunterAtheist]

I watch Pop N Games' unboxing videos of games in order to see what they come included with, and if the DLC is on the disc. Cool to see the actual store.

[@DP12321]

Yeah they are a great resource. Especially to see if there's a manual. Rarities nowadays.

[@matthewlane518]

I wish we had a store like this where I live😥

[@majorasecho]

Jeez i keep forgetting that this store is so close to home really need to visit this place soon.

[@timelymirror7826]

sounds like a cool shop they have retro games and new games on release day

[@captainkatnip]

Oooo... Legend of Dragoon! Severely underrated and needs a remake...

[@lordkiza8838]

I also found out they made a new river city game due to this. This is why I'm upset KZbin is restriction and it needs to stop

[@xxnike0629xx]

I’ve heard of PopNGames and have purchased from them before. Really good small business store

[@diegog1853]

That critique about stores not having prices is so true and so annoying... One of my local ones literally just looks ebay prices in front of you as soon as you pick up the game. That is very scummy practice, you cannot make calculations while you pruchase, make educated decisions, once you are up in the front and there is a line behind you, you are suddenly socially pushed into buying a game for a price you wouldn't pay before. Put pricetags in all of your products!

[@OldMan_PJ]

I wish my town had a store like that.

[@the80scaveman85]

Palamedes such a fantastic game. I always wondered if you were ever going to do a video covering it.

[@infraredux]

That neighborhood is quite neighborhood, indeed, Mr Riggs! :D

[@FoxMcCloudFF7]

I used to always buy the copy of a game that they did an unboxing vid with because it would be at a discounted price, but they don't seem to be doing that anymore! :(

[@-handsomesau-5734]

I want to see all the stores next lol. But since you're in NY, I wanna see some Cannolis

[@timhutchinson8485]

When I was watching this, for some reason I had a really weird "sense memory" of the smell of the video game section of the public library I used to rent games from when I was a kid in the 90s.

[@Risperdali]

I like good, small independent stores. There were a few around me, but they all closed. Much sad.

[@tonyah.960]

Super cool show today my good KZbin friend!

[@AtlasNight]

I Buy Stuff From PopnGames From Ebay Alot And Plus I Like The Fact That They Sell Games A Few Days Early Before Release Date So I Can Post Full Gameplay Videos On My YT Channel.

[@awesomegamingandtech1045]

Was that before or after you went to the LI retro convention? My friend always goes to that location in Queens.

[@timelymirror7826]

before

[@crestedgrain7932]

Imagine if he walked in while they are making a video

[@Damackism]

I buy games from Pop n Games Ebay store. Even though they are New York their shipping is craxy fast 0_o. I usually get my games in 2 days. And I'm in California. Shipping in my own state takes 4 to 7 days to get a package.

[@mikepappas2282]

My Spot. Scotty and me going to see Dragon 🐉 Ball together Sat. 🍿

[@matthew6427]

Nice vid 👍 There's a tiny little con this sat by me & my son wants to go. I'm pretty broke bc it was just my anniversary last Sat but idk. We don't get many around us so after watching this we'll have to go.

[@JohnRiggs]

No need to buy anything, so many cons have free-play areas and more. Browsing games can always be fun, too, just to see what's out there.

[@RansomDC5]

Any Amico games there?!

[@GrandMasterLynx]

$700!?!?!?! This is why I’m glad we have Emulation

[@timelymirror7826]

people and retro shops increasing the price

[@GrandMasterLynx]

@@timelymirror7826 it’s just insane I would rather make my own Reproduction Cart or Buy one

[@HogFatherMN]

Great video quality! Miss Rise of the Dragon.🤗

[@CaptFwiffo]

Last yr I found Rule of Rose in a box of 60 PS2 games I got for $80...sold it for $750...

[@mjnomy]

Whoa. More GC games than I usually see

[@gracekim1998]

Oh you mean quiet right?🤔 either way I want to go there😭

[@JohnRiggs]

haha, yep. My original title was like 'quite the quaint quiet queens' but deleted the wrong word apparently

[@jamess.9743]

I love this store but prices are a tad high. he has a large selection of retro.

[@TheMultiGunMan]

NES may be N E Best.......But, Sega does what Nintendon't. Prove me wrong!

[@joeydemitro8976]

I LOVE VIDEO GAME TOO MY FRIEND

[@lordkiza8838]

Man KZbin is not showing me your new videos I seen a short and was hoping it was you it was Mike though. And then I got worried cause I haven't seen anything from you in a while then I look you up and 2 days ago you posted. I really hate new KZbin its not fair for you nor is it fair for us.

[@kamilorado6979]

🔥

[@CastIronRestore]

Do I pop in, or is it poppin?

[@hoxton3046]

How quiet

[@mjdf122]

Long Island Queens Brooklyn Manhattan Staten Island The Bronx And Westchester County New York Where The Real New Yorkers Are At

[@sigmatic2788]

Not something to be proud of

[@christopherjoy2872]

Rule of Rose for $700? No wonder game stores are going out of business.

[@joeyfarris2543]

They get too greedy

[@timelymirror7826]

price increasing

[@yogibear2k220]

700 bucks for Rule Of The Rose and it's not even very good! Blimey, no wonder game collecting has taken a nose dive. Nobody can afford it! Such a shame and exploitative as the original creators of the game do not get one red cent of the profits.

[@timecapsule5604]
