Random Game Store in Utah Has the Best Prices - Minus World Video Games

[@JohnRiggs]

CLICK kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYDInYhnbMagsKM My video experience at Utah Retro Game Swap (the reason I was in Utah)

[@EdgedShadow]

Hello from Ogden (about 10 min north of Layton). I love this place!

[@JohnRiggs]

I stop by Gamers Asylum in a future video.

[@monkeyfeed908]

I too am from Ogden!

[@STOPH3R01991]

same! roosters was another great one, unfortunately didn't survive covid lockdown though. graywhale is also pretty awesome, for all retro media and there's a few locations in utah.

[@ZAX27171527]

My hometown! I love Minus World!

[@thesousa37]

I love when game stores wrap the games in plastic instead of sticking the prices on the game or box.

[@BigBadJohnDiesel]

I love this store! Tracy is a good dude! Thanks for giving him a plug!

[@retrojoe85]

One of the nicest game shops ever seen! Great prices too.

[@owlbelieveit6811]

Love that store, I go every other week. Owner is a great guy who really knows his stuff.

[@cubansupreme]

That "Glass Case" bit got me real good there. I literally teared up a little bit from laughing so much XD.

[@JohnRiggs]

I swore it was a clean glass case with that lighting and everything, though the other cases had a reflection, it never dawned on me.

[@roberthunter479]

@@JohnRiggs I did the exact same thing there.

[@BillyReplies]

When I was a kid my mom would take my brother and me to the grocery store after school on Friday where there was a small rental section that had Nintendo games and VHS cassettes. We were allowed to rent two things- either two games, two movies, or one of each. It was the early 90s and life was good. Watching this video, I can almost smell the air in that small rental section of our grocery store. I can still hear the sound of the telephone ringing there as well.

[@krisfrederick5001]

Same here, getting Little Caesar's "Pizza Pizza" in the long box with the white paper and getting to rent a video game from the grocery was if I was lucky was the best thing

[@BillyReplies]

@@krisfrederick5001 These are indeed precious memories. It's the special little moments that really made childhood a blast.

[@TheAustinKendall]

I remember renting consoles out for the weekend sometimes at the grocery store before we could afford a N64

[@kayeplaguedoc9054]

THANK YOU! You found a diamond in the rough. Hands down the best gaming store I've encountered in my home state, a little bit of a drive but well worth it. I got a genesis and have already gotten five games, only one of them loose, and all very well priced. They also don't put the stickers on the cartridges or the box, they put them on an outer seal - which is a huge win for me because I hate stickers!

[@rjbishop6128]

*John's mind flashes back to all the times in his life that the Glass Cabinet has bested him*

[@BraxtonKovary]

I'm from the area, and I actually go to this store pretty frequently! I love checking out new stuff they get.

[@andrewlterry]

This is one of the greatest retro game stores in the country. A must-visit for anyone in Northern Utah. A perfect mix of price, selection, and vibe.

[@Mindblazter80]

Hello John, I really like your channel and your personality, u are calm and happy all the time. And its great to see u living out your childhood. Love from swedish gamer :)

[@jazzjohannes]

I really loved this, you can seriously tell the tremendous amount of passion that went into this store, despite not physically collecting, this store really makes me want to start! ❤❤❤

[@SnailTheWhale]

duuuuude! I got Porky's as a stocking stuffer when i was 7 ! my parents were awesome

[@erichgeoppinger7112]

River Raid on the 2600 was my favorite on the Atari - could play that game endlessly

[@LinkeFlink]

Love how you can just grab and look at the nes games. In the Netherlands even the common games are behind glass.

[@outdoorsjoe]

The part with the "glass case" was too funny. Had to rewind and watch that again 😆

[@krisfrederick5001]

I love when you and Metal Jesus go shopping with us.

[@TheBrotherHolmes]

I drove by this place once when I didn't have time to stop and then forgot about it. I need to come check it out! I live like 3 stone throws from this place!

[@dionelr]

One of the higher up directors at my job has Nintendo World Championship stuff in his office. He apparently participated in the 90s.

[@fmdof]

this looks like my kind of shop

[@camzim871]

Great store!! The owner is amazing and helpful. Best part of Layton. I have gotten some great retro games there

[@bbs6806]

JohnRiggs!! Wish we knew you were here. Would have loved to meet you in person!

[@JohnRiggs]

I've been promoting the Utah Retro GAme Swap on my channel and socials for the past couple months. Next time for sure.

[@WilliamBraford]

I love this store great pricing, amazing selection, and a fantastic owner. I go there about once a week to grab PS2 titles I still need for my collection.

[@willy7369]

ET is one game , I can remember watching a friend play on a big floor model television. So, early 80’s that store had soo many amazing games n thank you for this great tour

[@blitzerblazinoah6838]

This store is now going to be cleared out of stock and make a ton of money because of this video.

[@Packers4Evar12]

I doubt it, everybody in the state already knows about this place

[@blitzerblazinoah6838]

@@Packers4Evar12 yeah, but now they'll be out-of-state and international customers/tourists descending on them now.

[@Packers4Evar12]

@@blitzerblazinoah6838 I'm glad they're getting the exposure, they deserve it

[@JLAvey]

I don't reckon a whole of folks are going to cross the Great Basis in search of games. Why do that when you can just order it?

[@Wheels8504]

No one is going to come to that state ever

Hybrid heaven, flawed but a hidden flavour on the n64

[@TheDrisk]

awesome video, always love to hear your knowledge and passion.

[@cpace123]

Finally a retro store that is not states away from me :)

[@panelvixen]

Logan, UT has a store like this. Found behind scenes Tenchi Muyo and Steel Angel Kurumi books there.

[@djbawb]

So sad I missed the swap meet and missed ya in town! Minus World is probably my favorite retro store. If you're ever back in town, I know a couple others you can visit as well.

[@NutzBerzerk]

It was really awesome seeing you cover my usual stomping grounds. Was great seeing you at the swap meet as well, come back to Utah soon!

[@mjdf122]

John Riggs back in action

[@hectormontalvo5565]

It does good to the heart to see these retro stores as I have none here. Thanks for showing your adventures there for us that can't go. Cool video John!👉😃👈

[@jfshep2128]

It might be worth driving the 30 minutes north to Layton, use it ad an excuse to go about 10-15 minutes north of these and hit Burger Bar in Roy.

[@nickzaccheo9294]

I love living in Utah. We have a lot of cool stuff. Thanks for the video!

[@qster]

Oh you gotta watch porky's it's a classic

I wish I had places like this closer to me.

[@EXCEEDINGSHADOW]

Makes me happy to go to one of my local game stores

[@fmdof]

i sold off my neo geo collection 6 years ago. i swear, every single one of the games i owned in that sale was in that case. like seriously.

[@JohnRiggs]

too rich for my blood.

[@TheGebs24]

This is wonderful!! I love dropping on random places like this! Great video John. Keep them coming 🎉 Hey and they have PAL SNES too. Nice

[@PhillipJackson-rl5ty]

I thought it was glass on camera 😆 that was hilarious... new to the channel but already a fan 😉

[@blitzerblazinoah6838]

Cannon Fodder is a great PAL exclusive on both the SNES and Mega Drive (Genesis).

[@indigomontoya22]

I always enjoy when even the moderately priced games are not locked away. Most stores will just have the stack of Anticipation out only. They are a smash and grab deterrent.

[@MrNerdyJay]

I have been living in Utah now for 8 months and I have not heard of this store. I need to check them out

[@homerdeadlyscorpio54]

My favorite store!! Did you leave some of your homebrews there for them to sell? That would be pretty cool.

[@JohnRiggs]

oh man, I should have!

[@TheCrimsonTruthYouCantHandle]

I'm moving to layton next month. I'm pretty damn excited now.

[@jacobprice8048]

Great video Riggs. Keep up the positive videos

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

Why can't these types of games stores be near me! The very first thing I noticed is most things were in bags that were loose and the prices on the bags. And what was not in bags had the price tags on the back and not on the freaking game label! I am so envious of you finding this game store I think I was also a kid in a candy store and or game store. ;)

[@RadSpoonyBard]

Minus World is always such a treat to visit. It's hard to say no to impulse buys there 😅

[@christopherreed3836]

Hi John, I just wanted to let you know I love your content, and I hope you are doing well! ❤

Donkey Kong for the original NES! That brings back memories! I used to consider it a victory just to make it to “the pie level.”

[@brandonnelson2472]

Funny i was actually there when he was filming and i didnt even know he was recording..love this store

[@derek-64]

Minus World is an excellent game store! I live down in West Bountiful so it's not too far from me. I may not go there too often but occasionally i might hit it up and snag a game or two. Also, Tracy(the owner) is a great guy. He's really cool, super nice, helpful, humble, and willing to chat a bit. He also tries to be fair and understanding when it comes to pricing. I've gotten quite a few games from this place and i highly recommended that people check it out local or not.

[@sidneyvandykeii3169]

You have got to watch Porkys John. 20 years ago my wife watched it in the middle of the night for the first time. She woke me up laughing at least 3 times she was laughing so hard. She likes that movie more than I ever had but it is a great laugh to watch once.

[@tomfoolery2964]

Tracy has some good trade in values also.

[@70Pron]

Spotted some nice vgm soundtrack vinyl too! On the wall and on the turntable. That store sounds like my kinda place

[@TheMELLOROCK1974]

I know what you mean on Ring King. The corner man was trying motivate his boxer lol

[@nate162000]

This is my video game store! Love them!

[@JLAvey]

Yeah, Minus World is the best place to shop within an hour's drive or so. It's the only one with any sort of Sega CD, Saturn, 3DO, Jaguar and even Neo Geo (no Metal Slugs). Problem with 3DO games is that whenever I look through them, I'm thinking, "got that one, got that one, that one too". I bought a boxes Aces collection for the PC there. It's just a show piece since I can't actually play them on computers any longer. I think the only thing that I've never seen there were Wonderswan games. Fun fact about Minus World; it's in the flight path for training flights out of Hill AFB. A couple of times I heard Lightning IIs roaring overhead.

I go here all the time. I've been to most retro stores in Salt lake city and Northern Utah. Minus and Numbskull are definitely my favorite. I've almost bought the wally bear game twice 😂

[@roberthunter479]

Ah, John. Forgot to mention. You once reviewed Jessie Jaeger in Cleopatra's Curse for the Turbo Grafx. If you load that game up again, you will see the Minus World store logo. I was shopping there a few years ago and the owner told me about that game as his friend was about to release it. About to go up to Ogden now and I'm purposely waiting till the store opens so I can shop before having to see my parents. I haven't seen the video yet.

[@marscaleb]

It's okay, I was fooled by their non-glass case myself. I remember when they moved locations; I came to their old store and it was all shut down and I was so bummed out... Then I remeber that to get there I just had to slide through the wall before the screen scrolls over.

[@foxcannon]

I'm in Draper and I've actually never been to this place, I might have to check it out.

Camerica, an unlicensed producer of NES games, put the switch on the back of their games due to the "10-NES" lock-out chip. Basically, if the game wasn't working if the switch is position "A" switch it to position "B."
