[Level Up Games]

There's Game Focus in London round the corner from Tottenham Court Road (Goodge Street?). I have to work in London every now and then round the corner and I tend to walk to CEX (Rathbone Place) after work but visit Game Focus on the way.

A friend of ours has said that they are now father lacking in anything too decent... a downsize means they're only on the ground floor now, nothing in the basement. Still worth a look if you're in the area though

[Level Up Games]

For anyone down in Kent?

We (as you can see from our profile and pic) are Level Up Games

www.levelup-games.co.uk

Down in Canterbury Town centre
Our website is a little lacking (time and, well, time really) but Facebook is regularly updated and we always try and answer the phone!

We were directed to this fantastic site by a couple of your members, and are glad to be here!!

It could be that the last indie store, in my area, could be closing soon. "Kart club" in Aldershot is a decent shop with a variety of modern/retro/dvd's/ figures. I bought my mint Multi-mega from here amongst some amazing saturn games from their previous store.
However i have heard that the shopping arcade, that they are situated in, is due to close down. sad news if true as there is sod all else other than GAME around here.

A little update for oldskoolgamer, they have recently moved to a larger shop, the new address is: 10 Smithfield centre, Leek, Staffordshire, ST13 5JW

Oldskoolgamer is a good shop. I went into the old store last year and picked up a few things at good prices. Price wise they are far better than my other fairly local retro store in afflecks palace who have some crazy prices!!

Hi guys has anybody ever been to Game dojo in Lytham St. Annes?
I've checked it out I'm thinking of going on Saturday. But i will be travelling all the way from Burnley in Lancashire. Does anyone from the Blackpool area have any tips on good retro game shops in the Blackpool area?

[Tyron]

I think www.retrogamedepot.com should come back up online. Used to love that website

[Munchman]

I second Level Up, been there a few times since we found out about it, great selection of retro (at great prices most importantly!) and Lucy also gives good trade in value on games as well.

I've got a week off in June, looking for somewhere not too far from North Wales to visit a good retro shop with good prices. Going to look through this thread see if I can find anything ^_^

Hi Guys,

This is my 1st post

I have been visiting the website since before Xmas and decide to join in the fun!

I took my little girl swiming at Splash in Sheringham Nofolk the other week and noticed that The Classic Game is no longer trading by the looks of things as the shop was empty. I didnt know how I went about updating the front page:

Kind regards - an1dr2ew3

In the US, I just discovered a gem in the middle of nowhere... Lost Ark in Greensboro, NC

These stores notoriously do poorly in this part of the world so I'm doing my best to support it!

There's a retro-gaming shop in Lyon with some arcade cabinets:
Gamespirit.
They have a website from which you can shop:
http://www.gamespirit69.com/fr/
Their adress:
22 rue Francklin 69002 Lyon

I made a video inside the shop today:

http://youtu.be/01W1xJgiFZg

So sad to think that 15 years ago, when I started collecting, there were tons of those shops around there (new york games, city game, new city game, neo ayato, independance game, fan games, addon, stack games, score games, neopolis, mangatik, softy and of course, huge stocks in the cash converters. Used to spend all my saturday afternoons to search around for good deals, good old times...) when there's only them nowadays. And not talking about the arcade centers...

Another shop from which I bought oftenly (online):
Gameswave (in Lilles). Fast shipping, accurate descriptions.
http://www.gameswave.com/restock/

As for Neo-Ayato, I bought a lot of stuff from them but they've been in a Metal Slug 1 counterfeit story for nearly a decade so...
