A Visit to Robot City Games in Binghamton NY

[EvilEvoIX]

   If you have the misfortune of passing through Binghamton in Upstate NY (Completely desolate and decrepit, you could use the town to film a Zombie Apocalypse) take the opportunity to visit Robot City Games.  The owner is a serious collector and he has a little of everything.  Prices are VERY HIGH however ($20 for Keith Courage Loose, Super Mario World is also $20, a Boxed Mega Man 5 is $269 and so on) however his collection for sale is HUGE and he has a massive arcade as well with over 70 games and it's quite a setup if I do say so myself.

That XBOX 360 Guitar Hero Guitar price is $64.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!.  IDK how he got that number.

Here's the Arcade that is in the next room.

I loved the photos...it captured the clean, organized nature of the store + arcade.

Personally, my impression (based on photos) was that it's worth going there for the arcade alone! It's looks like a great arcade. I couldn't figure out all the pinball machines...but I was looking at smaller images on my phone.


If my memory serves me, there is a Binghamton State University? That's the only reason the town hasn't crumbled to dust, I reckon.

That is correct.  This town is dogshit otherwise.  Dead strip malls, crumbling infrastructure, basically the college which is very nice and the store.

Binghamton and Cornell are the only two reasons to live in southwest NY. Glad to see there some stuff for the students out there.

Aside from the prices the place looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Thats great that he can wave his dick around and show off his collection, while renting a retail space without ever selling anything. Why not just label it a museum and charge people to walk in the door?

Nice arcade and it looks like he has some good stuff. However, $69 for an NES? No telling how expensive those stacks of Turbo games are.

Triple digits!

No doubt, way way over priced simply because of the Turbo Name.

Yeah it's (the university) actually quite large, but more importantly it's the only "city" around.  It sits on the border of Penn - NY and is surrounded by state forests and lands from both states.  no seriously the next major cities are hours away, and most people would hardly considered them cities.   Take it form someone who had the pleasure of driving thru that area once.

Damn!

Isolation. I don't know why kids would want to go to school in the middle of nowhere (my apologies to those of you in rural areas).
