I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread documenting the retro gaming stores we discover through our travels. I'll start off:
Name: Retro Classics Video Games
Location: Somerville, NJ
Website: retroclassicsgames.com
Thoughts: I took a detour while traveling through central NJ to find this place. It was kind of far off my route, but worth it. I was able to find a number of good condition games that I had meaning to add to my collection. The store has an amazing inventory for such a small place, ranging from Atari to PS3. In fact, the store is so bursting with inventory that it is hard to move around when there are more than two customers. The owner and staff are young, disorganized, and inexperienced, but their selection makes up for their flaws; it is just better than many other retro gaming stores in the NYC/Philly corridor. Pricing was a notch below ebay, and the owner just looks up prices on his iPhone rather than having anything marked...which is annoying. In the end, if you find yourself within an hour of the store, it is worth the trip.
