That store if crap, over price and of you are lucky enough to see the owner he will say why are you buying games when you can just get a original XBox and put all the roms on it..

Your a fan of the owner too huh?  I was in his other store one day and a kid, maybe 8-10, comes in trying to return a CD game that he got a week before because he said it didn't work. The game was scratched up, which it wasn't when it was sold to him.  Instead of the guy having a little customer service skills and treating him like a human being, he started yelling at the little kid.  All he had to do was explain the rules to the kid and tell him no, not yell and scare the kid. Jerk.

Yeah he treats people like shit, he has that loyalty card that if you spend 10$ 10x you get 10$ off... He got pist one time I filled it up said it wasn't valid since he didn't initial them. He treats customers bad and his employees even worse. And he has a copy of Street fighter  2 for the PC engine for 75$ WTF...

They even have an original XBOX that has been modded with classic games in its original kiosk.

isn't that illegal? (even if it's not for sale)
Gaming since 1985

Modify the xbox?  No.  Have tehzz romzz11!?  Maybe, but if you had a copy of each game for each rom then noz.  It's a grey area that is al
It's impossible to enforce.  But if you opened a large service that stated "Bob's ROM O-ROM-A", you may get a few cease and desists.

it's simple math. if you own all the romz on the boxz as an original, then you are legally allowed to use the romz, if you don't own them, then logically not :idea:

When I first caught the title of this thread I said to myself, "Dang it, we were just there 3 weeks ago!". Then I read the rest of the thread and realized I dodged a bullet. I would've liked to have known about the pinball joint, though. Oh well, at least I had pancakes at Dupar's!!
If anyone gets any leads on a "fair priced" copy of Coryoon, please lemme know!

Still a great place to visit, the employee I was talking too was nice, many free arcade games just there to play but they are mostly hooked up to HD screens so very pixelated or just MAME.  They did have that SHARP TV with the NES built in, very cool.

I'd say go, but just be prepared for sticker shock.

Well he has a bunch if them and you can just come and play them.  I really like the N64 kiosk which is still a 13"CRT monitor.  But most of the big games have been converted to LCD.
