Sponge Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 http://www.gamestop.com/collection/retro-classicsYou can now buy Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, Playstation 1, and Dreamcast consoles and games at Gamestop. You can only buy them online and not in-store. The prices are about the same as Ebay (some are higher and some are lower). I collect retro games but I like to find mine at yard sales and flea markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they just look up the prices on Ebay, so finding the hidden treasures happens a lot less frequently for me, than it use to. I found a black label FFVII and bought it for $10 a couple years ago at that giant flea market in Pendergrass, but that's the only luck I've had since about 2005.

Flat screen TV does those graphics no justice thoughDreamcast has a VGA adapter that turns the signal from 480p to 480i. Or you can use S-Video which looks good too.

Every seller at the flea market has a smartphone today and they check prices on ebay. And some sellers go around early in the morning before the flea market starts to buy all the cheap games just to mark them up. Your best bet is yard sales. You can find them on Craigslist. And sometimes , but rarely, you can find games at the Goodwill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Check your tv and see. I bought an S-Video cable for my Super Nintendo about 2 months ago on Ebay for $2.99 w/ free shipping. I got a Samsung plasma in my man cave that has every video input. I got it in 2008 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wleggett Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) There's a place in Gainesville I think or maybe clermont that sells retro games. I think the name might be retro gaming or something. They have a store on Amazon but the in store has a larger selection at least according to their site.It's clermont. http://www.retrogamesforu.com Edited July 4, 2015 by wleggett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
