Any game stores (In England) that still sell classic games?

Postby Snesfreak » June 30th, 2011, 4:23 pm

I always have to get anything older than a launch PS2 game off Online stores which always have delayed delivery. I found a game store in France though that sold a crap (I mean great by the way) ton of them though! But everywhere I look  I can never find a shop that sells any SNES games for example. Anybody here know of a classic game store...
in England?

Paris is home to some awesome retro game
shops. If you ever cross over the chunnel, let
me know, I'll give you some addresses.
I haven't been to England in years, there's bound
to be retro game shops in London, though.

Hey Oltobaz,

I'll be in Paris in early September.  I'd love to see your suggestions for retro game shops. 

Thanks!

Sure, man, just shoot me an email, let me know
what part of town you'll be staying with, and I can
come up with subway directions! Also, let me know
roughly what systems and games you'll be looking for.

You should have a Gamestation in a nearby town right?  They stock everything back to 16bit usually.  Hell my local one's even had a Vectrex in there before, reallllllly wished I'd picked it up at the time but had no space for it.

There are some, but they are small, independent, and local. What part of the country are you in?

Never been there so no idea, sorry. I prefer buying games online anyway. But sometimes its nice to check out a retro shop, particularly with friends.
