[@sylverrez]

I was surprised, too. I've never seen a video game store this large before.

[@SegaChris90]

It’s one of the best Independent game shops not just in Scotland but the whole of UK. Glad you had a good time up in Scotland and visit this treasure trove of a gaming shop. I’ve bought so many games from this shop over the years from Japanese MegaDrive Games to games that you don’t see often in the high street such as CEX. Allan and his staff at Forgotten Worlds are fantastic as always and always willing to help with some best trade in offers in which I feel gives you more value for money especially getting pricier games. It’s cool to see KZbinrs like yourself that are giving this shop a well deserved recognition for this amazing independent gaming shop.

[@sylverrez]

14:50 "Squirrel King" is an unlicensed remake of Capcom's "Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers" for the Sega Genesis. It was developed by Taiwanese company Gamtec Corporation, who produced a number of unlicensed games for (supposedly) a variety of consoles. The game later got revamped into another game - "Super Mario World". That has all of the graphics swapped around with Super Mario graphics, as well as a rendition of the Overworld theme for the level music.

[@Retrohertz]

That duke nukem game was not a repro. It was a Tec Toy release in Brazil. They were a licensed Sega Megadrive manufacturer and also produced some of their own games.

I go here a couple of times a month. Lucky to be only a 40 min drive. Sometimes I come away with nothing (rare), but just being in the shop and spending minimum of an hour (sometimes 2) just looking at everything makes me feel calm and really happy. It’s like staring into your childhood, but also into the childhood of kids in other countries with all the stuff that we never saw when we were young. Seeing all the stuff that 80’s and 90’s Japanese kids would have played with is awesome. And as a bonus, Allan and Jim are top top guys.

Along with another small game shop in my small town to, I’d say in the next five or so years, it will be so hard to get or buy physical or old games anymore, in a shop anyway..that’s why sony are selling the new PS5 PRO Digital. you have to be a disk drive separately. Which comes over £700. Plus you got to buy the stand separately too, so that’s probably what around 800?
