/vr/ - Retro Games

Was in Chicago for business the last three days, finished at noon today, and decided to mess around the city for a few hours before I drove home (downstate). I found this place on Yelp, about a mile south of Wrigley, and decided to hit it up.

It was a /vr/ wet dream. They had everything you could ever want. Shelves and shelves of boxed 2600, N64, SNES, Game Boy, and Genesis games. I'm talking legitimately hundreds. And that's not counting all of the loose cartridges they carry. Systems out the ass. Boxed 2600s, NES, everything. Seriously, it was heaven.

They had a Master System selection like you would not believe. Like, every game released for the system, and multiple copies of them. No joke. TG-16 games out the ass, Odyssey, Coleco, everything. They even had a shit load of Channel F carts in stock. HUGE selection of import Saturn and Dreamcast games too.

Prices were high, but fair, but I don't know how much of that had to do with it being in the city where everything is expensive. Most of the 3DO games for $5.00. CIB Majora's Mask for $60. The rarer Master System games for $50. They had a couple copies of Radiant Silvergun for $160.

Anyway, pic related was my haul.

I paid $600 for the TurboDuo. Didn't even bat an eye. Fucker is in absolutely IMMACULATE condition. I felt it was fair. $770 for everything, including Chicago's outrageous sales tax. Could have dropped $5,000 there easy.
